 |
|
My network layout is such:
| Code: |
OpenWRT Router
| x (wireless)
(wired) /
+----+----+ /
| | x
OpenVPN Remote
Server Client
(wired (also with
only) wireless)
|
While the client is wired, my OpenVPN tunnel works just fine. Connects, gives me a proper IP, etc.
When I unplug the wired cable, I can no longer connect with the client. The router has port 1194 properly forwarded, and running tcpdump on the server shows:
| Code: |
...
23:19:36.133492 IP tivo.local.net.32779 > files.openvpn: UDP, length 14
23:19:37.285315 IP tivo.local.net.32779 > files.openvpn: UDP, length 14
23:19:39.588972 IP tivo.local.net.32779 > files.openvpn: UDP, length 14
23:19:41.892624 IP tivo.local.net.32779 > files.openvpn: UDP, length 14
...

So it is recieving the connection request packets from the client just fine, but it is not responding for some reason.
I followed the OpenVPN Server tutorial exactly from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_OpenVPN_Server_for_Ethernet_Bridging_with_Server_Certificates and it does work when I'm wired. Is there any reason why the server would respond to the wired connection request, but not the wireless one?[/code] |
