[Closed] ssh to openvpn client IP

sp1dergeek

I'm trying to ssh to my client ip. I've restarted the sshd to try and get it to listen on the openvpn ip by putting the following in the client.conf:

up "/etc/init.d/ssh restart"

And although that appears to be working, I still can't connect to it. I've even tried using "-b <tun-ip>" in the ssh statement, but no joy.

Am I missing something?

which distro is your client?
is your client have any firewall enabled?

Sorry for the delay! Looking at the logs, it appears it's trying to send additional arguments to the up command:

Tue Jan 21 17:16:42 2014 /etc/init.d/ssh restart tun0 1500 1542 10.253.0.18 10.253.0.17 init
Extra argument tun0.

I've even tried putting a # at the end to comment the appended args out, but to no avail?!

Thanks debbie10t... that seems to describe how to run it as args from the command line. Mine is specified in the client.conf though....?
