Hi, Ok, so not realy an openvpn problem but.... I am probably not the first to run into this problem. Someone probably has the solution already. ;-)
Trying to understand why my Linux machine with the openvpn client is sending packets with one of it's local addresses via the tunnel to the other side. Fri Jul 10 12:11:51 2015 us=741813 m.duthler-lan/82.217.xxx.yyy:zzzz MULTI: bad source address from client [192.168.178.5], packet dropped How do I debug this? Or maybe I already understand what is happening, but in that case how to prevent it? Routing says to only send 172.16.0.0/16 traffic to the other side. Cause might be that this linux server needs to sometimes use our local company dns servers, so: linmwd:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf search tio.nl nameserver 172.16.128.40 nameserver 172.16.208.10 nameserver 8.8.8.8 How can I convince this Debian Linux machine to use it's local 172.16.18.1 address when doing a dns request to one of the 172.16.x.y dns servers? No dns service package installed on the machine. eth0 is the local LAN, eth1 is the connection to the on-site ISP router/modem. All local devives do not have this problem as they only have a 172.16.18.x number and their dns requests pass through the tunnel without a hitch. In case it is relevant. Client sided ipv4 and routing config: linmwd:~# ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:11:6b:99:34:90 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.16.18.1/24 brd 172.16.18.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fd00::1:211:6bff:fe99:3490/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 6151sec preferred_lft 6151sec inet6 fe80::211:6bff:fe99:3490/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether b8:ac:6f:a0:24:a1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.178.5/24 brd 192.168.178.255 scope global eth1 inet6 fe80::baac:6fff:fea0:24a1/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 100 link/none inet 172.16.1.142 peer 172.16.1.141/32 scope global tun0 linmwd:~# ip route default via 192.168.178.1 dev eth1 172.16.0.0/16 via 172.16.1.141 dev tun0 172.16.1.129 via 172.16.1.141 dev tun0 172.16.1.141 dev tun0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.142 172.16.18.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.18.1 192.168.178.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.178.5 linmwd:~# Met vriendelijke groet, Bonno Bloksma senior systeembeheerder tio university of applied sciences ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
