2. On machine OpenVPN A, modify the remote address in the configuration file,
/etc/openvpn/tun.conf.
# point to the peer
remote 192.168.8.174
dev tun
secret /etc/openvpn/secrouter.key
cipher DES-EDE3-CBC
auth MD5
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 64
ping 40
ifconfig 192.168.2.173 192.168.4.174
up /etc/openvpn/tun.sh
Next, modify the routing table in the /etc/openvpn/tun.sh script file.
#--------------------------------- Start-----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# value after “-net” is the subnet behind the remote peer
route add -net 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw $5
#--------------------------------- end ------------------------------
On machine OpenVPN B, modify the remote address in the configuration file,
/etc/openvpn/tun.conf.
remote 192.168.8.173
dev tun
secret /etc/openvpn/secrouter.key
cipher DES-EDE3-CBC
auth MD5
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 64
ping 40
ifconfig 192.168.4.174 192.168.2.173
up /etc/openvpn/tun.sh
Next, modify the routing table in the /etc/openvpn/tun.sh script file.
#--------------------------------- Start----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# value after “-net” is the subnet behind the remote peer
route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw $5
#--------------------------------- end -----------------------------
Note that the parameter “ifconfig” defines the first argument as the local internal interface and
the second argument as the internal interface at the remote peer.
Note that $5 is the argument that the OpenVPN program passes to the script file. Its value is
the second argument of ifconfig in the configuration file.
