lly clean (being logically equivalent to just plugging the client computer's Ethernet cable into the server's Ethernet network) and there would be no NDP issues because the NDP messages would travel up and down the tunnel so the client could handle them automatically. This approach appears to be documented in the man page for etherip(4), but I haven't actually tried to get that approach working. Thanks again, everyone, and I hope you have a nice week.

o me is that I have an easy way to identify the route corresponding to a recently added tunnel. (The addition of an address to an interface doesn't matter to me because that happens on the client but the NDP proxying happens on the server. But I'm thinking it should get the same rtlabel i

small networks, you can set up a VPN using iked.conf alone"? It really seems like the latter approach makes more sense. What am I missing? Why is going out and getting a larger subnet from my ISP a better way to connect a laptop to my VPN than just proxying the neighbor solicitations? Thanks, Anthony Coulter

process of enabling and disabling NDP proxying for responder-assigned IPv6 addresses. I am firmly convinced that this is a good idea because my VPN setup was unusable until I tried "ndp -s". > -- > Please keep replies on the mailing list.

OK, I've sorted out my network issues server but it turns out that I was misinterpreting the tcpdump output on my VPS. When an external computer tries to ping my client's virtual IP address, the VPS's gateway router is *not* forwarding the pings to my server where they can be shoved into the IPsec

only one security association and zero flows? I suspect that this is the cause of all of my other issues with the tunnel. 2. Why does the server route packets over the tunnel only when they originate on the server itself? (The ip6.forwarding sysctl is enabled---the problem is that it wants to route these packets onto the local link, not that it refuses to route at all.) Does anybody have any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Anthony Coulter
