Test Ping clarification required
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 7:38 am
Hi
I am new to OpenVPN. I need to verify that I understand the ping test correctly.
I have setup 2 Linux machines.
The Server starts up the VPN link and opens a tun device with:
inet addr:10.0.1.1 P-t-P:10.0.1.2 Mask:255.255.255.255
Then I start the Client and it creates a tun device with tun0 local 10.0.1.6 peer 10.0.1.5
I found that can can ping the server from the client when using an IP of 10.0.1.1 and from the server I can ping 10.0.1.6.
I cannot ping from the client 10.0.1.5, the 'peer' IP.
Is this the working or what?
This means I should ignore the p-to-p IP of 10.0.1.5?
Thanks
