OpenVPN Support Forum

Good day, I hope you can assist me with.

We had a running instance of OpenVPN configured on Linux which worked without a problem.
I then copied the config file to the same directory with a different name and changed the server IP range.

This second instance starts up and establishes a connection, but I am unable to browse to a machine behind the VPN server.

For example, I am trying to ping a machine behind the server with ip 192.168.0.6.
The ping request passes through the server to the machine, and the machine replies according to tcpdump.

The reply arrives at the VPN server on the internal interface as expected, but that is where it ends.

The client receives IP 10.9.0.6 from the server, the server is also not able to ping that IP.
So somehow the VPN server is not passing the packets received back onto the tunnel.

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.9.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun1
10.8.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0
10.8.0.0 10.8.0.2 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
10.9.0.0 10.9.0.2 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun1

The routing seems correct to me and ip_forward is 1, so it should allow traffic through.

I have gone so far as to allow that traffic through the box explicitly, even though that was not needed on the other (working) instance on 10.8.0.0.

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- 10.9.0.0/24 anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere 10.9.0.0/24

Can you possibly assist in pointing out what the potential problem might be?

i dont understand why you need 2 tunnels

also, read this:

Him thanks for the response.

I have another site running the wat of the example, but unfortunately I need two tunnels as I want the roadwarriors to authenticate with username / password and remote servers without.
