I'm attempting to run two OpenVPN tunnels on the same router: one OpenVPN client that carries all normal traffic and one OpenVPN bridging server for a given subnet. I can make these work separately but, as soon as I bring up both, the OpenVPN bridging server no longer works for me. As part of debugging this, I'd like to know how to interpret the OpenVPN status log for the OpenVPN bridging server:
TUN/TAP read bytes,535900
TUN/TAP write bytes,0
TCP/UDP read bytes,0
TCP/UDP write bytes,0
Auth read bytes,0
pre-compress bytes,508940
post-compress bytes,487391
pre-decompress bytes,0
post-decompress bytes,0
What I think this means is that OpenVPN is reading stuff from the OpenVPN bridging server's TUN, locally on the router, compressing it and sending off on it's merry way out of the WAN port. But since TCP/UDP is zero, this would appear NOT to be user data but admin or keep-alive or whatever stuff generated by OpenVPN itself. But then decompress bytes is zero, so does that mean that the admin processes over the tunnel are also not working, 'cos nothing is coming back and being decompressed?
Any guidance is appreciated.
