Hello,
We are currently using m0n0wall to glue together our voip network with
OpenVPN tunnels. We are using th net4801 platform with the
net48xx-1.2-ovpn2.img image made available by Peter Allgeyer. We are
using that specific image because later images seems to mess up PPTP
when enabling OpenVPN. I've described the problems with OpenVPN earlier.
To sum up:
1. The OpenVPN proces causes a kernel panic on the m0n0wall if and only
if the sip proxy for some reason is unavailable. This happens with tftp
too - but not with dns queries. Just before the m0n0wall freezes, a
couple of ICMP "Desination Unreachable" is received.
OpenWRT and OpenVPN have been installed on a net4801 to see if OpenVPN
also fails on that platform. This is not the case.
2. Packets that should go through the tunnel are sent to WAN if the
tunnel comes up after the first packet have been sent. Flushing the
statetables "solves" this. Advanced outbound nat is enabled.
3. From a fresh boot where the tunnel comes up it is not possible to
access the m0n0wall from the far end af the tunnel. Logging in from a
local pc and hitting "save" in advanced outbound nat "solves" this.
Also, it is not possible to access local equipment from the far end of
the tunnel before the local equipment have initiated a connection.
It is our hope that with a prize on this, these problems can be solved
within a month - maybe two.
Regards,
