can not ping VPN server (ARP seems to fail)?
Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2025 5:01 pm
I have a linux softEther VPN server and client configured in "Remote Access to LAN" mode.
Everything is working fine, client can connect and becomes part of the "server LAN" (which is defined by the server-localBridge that is connected to the real/physical LAN via the one-and-only-server NIC, namely: "eth0").
Let's say I'm using 192.168.200.x/24 as IPv4 LAN subnet address.
The client and ping to pretty much any system in the "server LAN" (192.168.200.x) except for the server itself (that of course also has a 192.168.200.x address).
It looks like the server stops responding to ARP requests... is this because it listens on promiscuous mode (and so It'll never work)?
or did I make a (configuration) error?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
