Dear Kevin,

I am now using Shrew VPN on mac. The VPN Tunnel connection is
Established, but cannot ssh. The log file is in the attachment. Do you
have any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Shrew version: 2.2.0
Mac version: 10.7.5


Hi Jinyan,

I haven't been working with Shrew on Macs recently, so I'm not sure how
much help I can be.  For instance, I can't even remember if there's a
Trace Utility for the Mac client. :(

I looked through the iked.log quickly.  All the usual things look ok:
the VPN client IP address (10.2.2.0/24) does not overlap with the
protected network (10.10.0.0/16), the policies get installed correctly,
and the phase2 security association (sa) is established.

Are you able to access the DNS server at 10.10.2.16?


Jinyan and Kevin,

DNS is not being configured correctly by the VPN Client. OSX versions 10.6 and later do not rely on the resolv.conf file. Instead they use a registry like system that you write information into. Unfortunately it's not very well documented. In any case, if the tunnel is working, you should be able to resolve host names to IP addresses using dig or nslookup ( still read resolv.conf ), but anything that uses the system resolver will fail to use the correct name servers. I'm in the process of adding support for the new resolver configuration.
