routing using openvpn


Hello Community:

I am currently working on setting openvpn as a gateway between my office LAN and the LAN behind the vpn server. I can ping and access the LAN behind the vpn server from the office network, but I cannot do the same from the LAN behind the openvpn. I can just ping the tunnel IP from the LAN behind the vpn.

What I need to do is set my openvpn to be the gateway between the my office LAN and the LAN behind the openvpn server.

I am running Centos 5, and openvpn version. 2.0.9.

These are my routing tables:

openvpn-linux client routing table:

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
10.3.0.1 10.3.0.5 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 tun0

Try enabling proxy arp.

Quote:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp
or the specific interface.
