Hello, Based on the output you provided, it appears BIRD/OSPF is not seeing your interfaces? In BIRD CLI, if you compare "show interfaces" with "show ospf interfaces" do you see any difference? I am using a very basic config (only defining cost) for each OpenVPN tun interface I am using, and its working over here.
bird.conf: protocol ospf SlothNet { rfc1583compat yes; area 0.0.0.0 { networks { 172.22.150.64/26; 172.23.158.64/26; }; stub no; interface "tun-node43" { cost 20; }; interface "tun-node69" { cost 180; }; interface "tun-node96" { cost 70; }; interface "tun-node28" { cost 130; }; interface "eth1" { cost 10; }; interface "lo" { stub; }; }; } bird output: bird> show ospf SlothNet: RFC1583 compatibility: enabled Stub router: No RT scheduler tick: 1 Number of areas: 1 Number of LSAs in DB: 4 Area: 0.0.0.0 (0) [BACKBONE] Stub: No NSSA: No Transit: No Number of interfaces: 8 Number of neighbors: 3 Number of adjacent neighbors: 3 Area networks: 172.22.150.64/26 Advertise 172.23.158.64/26 Advertise /Charles van Niman On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 4:32 PM, Michael McConnell < mich...@winkstreaming.com> wrote: > I’ve also tried with pointtopoint and declared my neighors under the tap > interface and made it pointtopoint without success; > > interface "tap*" { > type pointopoint; > cost 5; > hello 5; > wait 10; > dead 25; > authentication cryptographic; password “boogers"; > neighbors { > 10.10.10.34; > }; > > }; > > > > > On Mar 21, 2018, at 3:08 PM, Michael McConnell <mich...@winkstreaming.com> > wrote: > > Hello all, > > I am trying to establish OSPF over OpenVPN without any luck.
