Hi,

I have a strange routing issue with openvpn inside a container. I am a fairly new user of openvz. I have openvpn installed in a container. (I had to use a veth device to get routing to work at all.. venet didn't seem to work).

The HN has 2 interface eth0 (10.255.255.1/24 facing DMZ) and eth1 (10.38.0.1/26, internal lan). This box is also the default gw for my network. (10.38.0.0/26). The vpn network is 10.10.0.0/24. I am running openvpn in server mode here its ip is 10.10.0.1. I have 3 clients connecting with vpn ips of 10.10.0.9 and 10.10.0.13. Each client connects properly and can ping each other and other nodes on my lan (10.38.0.50, 10.38.0.3X) and other containers (10.38.0.2 and 10.38.0.3). The other containers utilized the venet device.

The HN can ping the vpn serve 10.10.0.1 but none of the other nodes (10.10.0.9 and 10.10.0.13). Other nodes on my lan can ping the HN and the vpn nodes. My quest is why can the HN not access VPN clients?

I do not have a bridge for veth103.0 and eth1 setup as I don't want one.

HN:
sysctl -p

net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding = 1
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.eth0.proxy_arp = 1
net.ipv4.conf.eth1.proxy_arp = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce = 2

Hello,

why do you expect your HN to be able to ping 10.10.0.9 or 10.10.0.13? It's a virtual private network and you must to connect your OpenVPN server (your VE) to be able to reach that machines?

Mainly because I have the routes setup
(e.g. ip r add 10.10.0.0/24 via 10.38.0.4) and the rest of my lan can ready 10.10.0.0/24. The other containers on the HN can also reach 10.10.0.0/24.

Hi,

could you possibly show routing records from inside the VE.
Please, also use tcpdump utility to find out why your VE doesn't respond. Try to ping your VE and run tcpdump at the same moment:
- on the HN (veth interface)
- inside VE (eth interface)
Do you have any iptables limitations?
