Site to Site problems.

Post by tehbublitz » Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:35 am

Ok Computers from both networks can ping each other.

The client and server can ping each other but not other devices...They respond to pings if they are the destination NOT the source.

So whats happening is when you ping from the client or server the source packet is the tunnel interface, not the LAN interface. So other devices on each network does not know about the tunnel interface network just their own and the other end of the VPN.

I could just add a route on both ends, but the server will have 2 tunnels and host cluster witness file shares. This is a hosted machine so I don't want to buy 1 machine for just OpenVpn and another to host file shares.

So I need the server to source packets with its LAN address not its tunnel address even if its going to the remote network.

Is such a thing possible?

Yes, using iptables and masquerading.

Yes but generally the masquerading isn't very efficient. Unless you know of a better way to do it than I do...
