<div>Hi,</div>
<div>I am using the OpenSwan package on a Linux machine in which a bridge is also configured. I have seen that the KLIPS attaches to the bridge device and as a consequence it modifies the original route rules which I have configure in route table main and local. I tried to remove the rules, but discovered that this has a bad effect, since the ipsec connection failed. Detaching the ipsec device from the bridge is not so easy since the whole architecture seems to depend on this operation.
</div>
<div>If you are asking yourself why would anyone want to remove the route rules or detach the ipsec device? - I have an additional device in my system. I use route rules in table main and local to transmit traffic to that device. I cannot loose this flow when introducing ipsec to my system.
</div>
<div>I am aware of the fact that the driver was written like that to ease integration to a standard Linux machine. I am willing to patch the driver in order to solve my problem if needed.</div>
<div>Can anyone help/recommend any solution to my problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!!!</div>
