Hi Everyone, <br>Is anyone been successfull in setting up a vpn connection with amazon&#39;s VPC service? <br><br>I am trying to setup a vpn connection from our office to amazon&#39;s VPC service. The VPN tunnel is coming up fine, however it look like something is not right with the routing. I can successfully ping the other side&#39;s internal&#39;s ip (169.254.255.x), however when I try to ping the other side&#39;s network, the I amd getting  destination host unreachable. The routing table does properly show and entry to route the network through the correct gateway (amazon&#39;s internal ip). <br>
<br>Not sure If I did the right thing but I assign the internal ip adresses 169.254.255.2 and 169.254.255.6 to the interface eth0 of our vpn server, which is the public facing interface. I actually did an almost same copy as per this email thread setup (<a href="http://lists.openswan.org/pipermail/users/2010-May/018829.html">http://lists.openswan.org/pipermail/users/2010-May/018829.html</a>).<br>
