SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi guys,

After I started the vpnserver, it will -
1. Get IP from DHCP with a unknown MAC address (I can't find it with ifconfig, and not exists in my network)
2. Connect to a DNS server to query
3. Send HTTP traffic to 180.76.3.151 (from IP check, it's owned by Baidu)
4. Repeat 1-4 after 5 minutes.

Attached a screenshot from Juniper SSG5 firewall log.

What's the usage of these traffic? Is it expected or not?

Info of my system
1. Operating system name and the type of CPU-bits
Linuxmint 17 x64

2. The result of "ifconfig –a" (UNIX) or "ipconfig /all" (Windows)

Yes. This problem always happens when the server is started.

8. Your current vpn_server.config or vpn_bridge.config file should be attached on the post.
[attachment=0]vpn_server.config.txt[/attachment]
vpn_bridge.config not exists.

Interesting. Where is that trafiic generating ? I don´t think it could be coming from the linux server. Is the linux server a local machine or it is hosted on a PVS ? If you have some win machine on your network it might be a trojan sending packets to that IP. Ip leaking is very common in China to happen.

Please give more info so we can check together.

Cheers

Thanks for replying.
The Linux server is a local machine.
These traffic is generated by the VPN service itself, after I stop the VPN service, these traffic will not be generated anymore.
There is no Windows machines in my network, also there is no clients connected while these traffic is logged.

That traffic generated by SecureNAT virtual host.
If you don't like it, please turn on "DisableKernelModeSecureNat" in Virtual HUB extended options in Virtual Hub properties.
