http://serverfault.com – I have an host in Amazon EC2 which is configured with an OpenVPN Access Server. The only client to this server is acting as a gateway from a private network. I installed StrongSWAN 5 on the same host to allow windows 7 and iOS clients to connect using IPSEC. Both services works but what I cannot figure out is how to configure StrongSWAN to consider the OpenVPN tunnel endpoint as the only gateway available to clients. Basically I want all the traffic that comes from IPSEC clients to be entirely forwarded to the OpenVPN tunnel. The remote OpenVPN client that is exposing the private network has (HowTos)

i'm currently building a s2s VPN using 2 pfsense appliances (2.0.2).

I have an OpenVPN server and I can connect to it just fine but I can not communicate with any other hosts on the network including the server.

I am currently trying to setup an OpenVPN server with the intention of linking several servers together in order to run the backup jobs over the VPN.

For this example, this is what I have:

TUN mode Tunnel network: 10.0.8.0/24 Local network: 10.0.255.

I wanted an OpenVPN server so that I could create a private VPN network for staff to connect to the server.

However, not as planned, when clients connect to the VPN, it's using the VPN's internet connection (ex: when going to whatsmyip.com, it's that of the server and not the clients home connection).

local <serverip> port 1194 proto udp dev tun
