So the virtual private network addresses are transparent to the linux box, is that correct? The linux box only "sees" the physical IP address (without the need to define any tunneling rules.) I can get both vpn server and client to connect, but they can't ping each other. Thanks.

They are hidden (encrypted) from it anyway. ________________________________ From: openvpn-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Wallace Yang Sent: Thu 01-Feb-07 22:29 To: openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Openvpn-users] does linux machine need to accept the virtualnetwork Dear openvpn users: I'm new - new to vpn, and linux, and this is my first post, so be gentle. Consider: There is a winvpn server, a winvpn client, and a linux machine in between. The winvpn server and clients are on the same Lan, with the linux machine being a firewall to the outside world. I've been reading the howto - and there's something I'm not clear about. When the virtual network is created by the server, it shouldn't be a subset or a superset of the physical network, correct? Let say the physical is 192.168.1.0/24, and the virtual is 192.168.2.0/24. Do I have to accept packets with 192.168.2.0/24 addresses in the forward chain in iptables of the linux machine?
