I am successfully connected to a VPN tunnel to a router. I am trying to ping a server on this LAN with ping 192.168.1.113. This is returning:
PING 192.168.1.113 (192.168.1.113): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
Request timeout for icmp_seq 5
--- 192.168.1.113 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
This server has openVPN service switched on. Therefore all outgoing requests are being made with tun0 interface. This is the tcpdump during the pinging test:
12:29:21.027220 eth0 In ifindex 2 e8:48:b8:e1:57:1a ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 104: 10.8.0.6 > 192.168.1.113: ICMP echo request, id 45097, seq 32, length 64
12:29:21.027357 tun0 Out ifindex 1063 ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 104: 192.168.1.113 > 10.8.0.6: ICMP echo reply, id 45097, seq 32, length 64
12:29:22.004265 eth0 In ifindex 2 e8:48:b8:e1:57:1a ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 104: 10.8.0.6 > 192.168.1.113: ICMP echo request, id 45097, seq 33, length 64
12:29:22.004411 tun0 Out ifindex 1063 ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 104: 192.168.1.113 > 10.8.0.6: ICMP echo reply, id 45097, seq 33, length 64
10.8.0.6 is the ip of the machine pinging via the VPN tunnel.
Why is the connection not being received back.
Update
switching off the openVPN service on the server routes the packets correctly.
is there something I need to add to the routing table in order to be able to connect to the server remotely when the server has an openVPN client services running?
