i am using a Swedish vpn service (called vpntunnel.se) which redirects all traffic from eth0 to tap0. The ip address assigned to tap0 is dynamic..
for various reasons i must also be able to access the server via the static ip of eth0. The Iface eth0 however is not pingable.
tcpdump shows incoming pings on eth0. No outgoing pings are detected on either eth0 nor tap0.
Code: Select all
