I normally use Windows to connect the company VPN, but now I need to use Ubuntu
note: i can just operate client side (and i don't know server side settings), i've just the client.ovpn (with certificates) to connect
after running the "sudo openvpn client.ovpn"
- the client connect ("Initialization Sequence Complete")
- the traffic (on tun0) flows
- whatismyip gives me the right IP (IP of the server)
BUT when i try to ping the address I need through the tunnel i have this (example):
PING 192.168.1.251 (192.168.1.251) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.17 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.17 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.17 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
with Windows this is just fine, and I can reach to the address I need, with the same client.ovpn
trying to solve this i looked into the forum and man for:
- iptables (disabling it)
- ip forwarding (enabling it)
- dns with update-resolv.conf (messing it:)
before posting pages and pages of verbose terminal lines...
I'm missing something?
does someone have any idea?
thank you in advance
