Re: [44net] OpenVPN For Dummies

Dave, Probably a dumb question but want to clarify before making the edits: Do you lines below go in the interfaces file where I currently have - auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug ens3 iface ens3 inet dhcp iface ens3 inet6 auto or do I drop these in the bird.conf file where I have - protocol static { route 44.18.51.0/24 via 149.28.84.243; route 44.18.51.1/32 via 149.28.84.243; I am thinking the latter based on my original set up scripting.

Also make sure you have disabled any NAT. Most OpenVPN instruction sets, assume you want to NAT your clients to the server address. You do not want that. -- Dave K9DC Indianapolis _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)mailman.ampr.org https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44net
