Hi, I'm using openvpn to connect my vpn-gateway at home to an external server, both are FreeBSD-boxes (6.2-STABLE). The external server has an fixed IP, the client at home connects to a router, which gets a new IP every 24 hours. The client is configured as router (gateway_enable="YES") which works... at least sometimes. After my router gets a new IP, the openvpn client reconnects to the server and the tunnel is usable from FreeBSD@home to FreeBSD@external. But: I have one Vista and one OSX at home, both have static routes to the FreeBSD-box. They are able to use the tunnel, when the openvpn-client is freshly startet. After getting a new IP from my ISP, the tunnel is up (and - as I wrote - the FreeBSD is able to use it), but the two other boxes don't get routed through the tunnel, but the default gateway. When I restart the openvpn-client, everythink works again like it should. Sample output of traceroute when openvpn is restarted: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms wintermute [192.168.2.2] 2 29 ms 30 ms 32 ms GOTHNET [10.10.0.1] (works) After router gets net external IP: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms wintermute [192.168.2.2] 2 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.2.1 3 19 ms 19 ms 19 ms 217.0.119.195 4 217.0.89.70 meldet: Zielhost nicht erreichbar. Any advice? :( Regards, Neo [GC]
