no navigation with linux client

Post by devotedmystic » Fri Sep 25, 2015 3:38 am

Hello, I have this configuration:

1. Server: Debian Jessie. The server works in virtual mode. I can connect it just fine from Windows clients.
2. Client: Debian Jessie. I can connect, get the DHCP, ping all IPs (even outside).

My routing table is correct, as I can ping outside. Domains are resolved instantly. However, using lynx or iceweasel just times out.
th
A few times I could successfully get a response with lynx, but it was taking a long time. Iceweasel times out quicker than lynx.

This issue happens only with the Linux client. I can connect from Windows and Android and it is blazing fast.

Any idea what I should check or what's wrong?

I have to add this: when I connect to vpngate servers, instead, connection works (I see it from accountstatusget in vpncmd; and ifconfig shows interface with the received IP from DHCP). However, if I try to ping the VPN server local IP, it is not reachable. And of course, no way to ping outside or navigate. I don't know if there is some other configuration missing. I can post all the steps, but basically I followed some posts and I get same routing table, etc.

Could you give me more information?
What software did you use for connecting to the VPN server?
And please show traceroute and routing table and ping result.

Thanks, I solved it. I was using vpnclient. Info on the net are not exact for Debian Jessie. I built a Linux GUI client to make things easier. I will post more info.
