To traceroute over a tunnel, you may have to change the TTL to 64 like so:
Strange advice, considering how traceroute works, which is to send packets with very low TTLs (starting with a TTL of 1 and working up to 30 in most implementations). If it really makes a difference to set the tunnel TTL to 64 in order to get traceroute to work, something very strange is going on.
As for n1uro's site, the last word I got from him was that he was working on some tricky firewalling rules and he may have gotten some of them wrong. I'd suggest we stop picking at his site until he has a chance to see what's up himself. Presumably he'll let us know what the story is when all is done. - Brian
