Garbage in syslog

[zenon]

The log of bad routing contains a lot of garbage, like this (scroll to end of line):

Code: Select all

openvpn[902]: RwrWRwRwrWRwrWRwRwrWRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWrWRwRwrWrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRwRwrWRahostname/192.168.2.3:59772 MULTI: bad source address from client [10.10.0.1], packet dropped

This is two separate problems: (a) the routing and (b) the garbage. Does anyone know how to get rid of the garbage while keeping the log of bad source address packerts? openvpn is 2.4.10.

You have to adjust the --verb directive.
See
--verb n
in manual 2.4:

Aha, indeed. Thanks Pippin. I had 'verb 3' everywhere, except in one server config where it was 5. I'll walk over to the mirror and have a stern word with the guy who put it there and then forgot all about it.

Be lenient, maybe there was good reason...
