Re: [Openvpn-users] snmp over vpn

["... ..." <rob_xx17@xxxxxxxxx>]

forgot to mention one more thing. On the VPN router I
have the IP forwarding enabled as in:

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward = 1
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/ip_forward = 1

The server is running SuSE 9.3. From my understanding
that's how you enable IP forwarding. I think that's
the only thing that I have to do on the
VPNserver/router to make sure that it routs the
packets, right?
