Hello,
Can i ask you all a quick help to configure a lan to lan vpn?
I try to describe the environment
site1 - I installed softether VPN server (Ubuntu) in a VMWare virtual machine with a single network card (it is configured in the desidered vlan in the VM settings). The network ip address is 192.168.1.2 and subnet 255.255.252.0
site2 - I installed a softether VPN bridge (ubuntu) in a VMWare virtual machine with a single network card also. the ip address is 192.168.2.2 and the subnet is 255.255.252.0
The VPN connection is enstablished but if i tried to ping an ip from site 1 to site 2 and vice-versa doesn't works.
Do you have suggestions?
Thank you so much

Re: help to configura a lan to lan l2 vpn
It is a known issue on Linux:
https://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manu ... in_the_VPN.If you are using Linux or Solaris, you can communicate within the Virtual Hub (VPN) from the network adapter connected to by the local bridge to the LAN, but you can not communicate to the network adapter itself. This is a restriction imposed by the Linux kernel.

So, the way is to use a second virtual network card to do this?

Thank you :-)
So if i add a second network card in the Server side, with ip address eg.192.168.1.3 and Bridge side with ip address 192.168.2.3 and i use this one i can bypass this issue.
Is it correct?
thx
