Attributing IP address to a linux client

[hatimux]

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to a SoftEther VPN server using a linux client. The connection is successfully established but I can't get an IP address for the linux client. I have tried using NatSecure with the DHCP option but it doesn't work.

I tried using a windows client and it works with no problem.

Do you have any idea why isn't it working for linux clients?

For both client and server I'm using a virtual environement.
Additionnal information about the client and server:

****************************************************************************
Client information:

Please tell me if you need any additionnal information about my configuration.

Thank you,

The problem was that the dhcp client wasn't asking for a dhcp address.
To force the client to ask for the ip address, you can modify the configuration file /etc/network/interafces and add the following lines:
auto vpn_1
interface vpn_1 inet dhcp



Note: dhcp option of the SecureNat function must be enabled
