I copied over our existing configuration and added "topology subnet". The new configuration no longer works, it seems to be handing out an invalid client config. Previous config that worked: 2013-07-30T17:02:44.084956+02:00 toshi1 openvpn[5616]: PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0,route 192.168.13.1,ping 10,ping-restart 120,ifconfig 192.168.13.9 192.168.13.10' Current config which doesn't work: 2014-02-07T09:56:14.797888+01:00 toshi1 openvpn[8133]: PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,route 192.168.0.0 255.255.240.0,topology p2p,ping 10,ping-restart 120,ifconfig 255.255.255.0 192.168.13.10' The "ifconfig 255.255.255.0 192.168.13.10" part looks particularly dodgy and presumably leads to this faulty network config: 4: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 100 link/none inet 255.255.255.0 peer 192.168.13.10/32 scope global tun0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever It is correctable by amending the addresses: ip addr add 192.168.13.9 peer 192.168.13.10 dev tun0 ip addr del 255.255.255.0/32 dev tun0 Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
