[Openswan Users] VPN ; - Linux as VPN client , routing problem[SOLVED]

[John Joseph]

Thanks for the mail 
my  ppp informations are given below , I did try
giving defaultroute ppp0 , which was not working for
me 


[root at centos ~]# cat /etc/ppp/options.l2tpd.client
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
refuse-eap
noccp
noauth
crtscts
idle 1800
mtu 1410
mru 1410
#defaultroute ppp0 
nodefaultroute
debug
lock
#proxyarp
connect-delay 5000
######################################

Now I did some changes in the script which I run soon
after I get VPN connection is 

####################################
route add default gw 192.168.168.167 ppp0
route add -host 2xx.1xx.1xx.1xx gw 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
route add -host 10.0.0.1 dev eth0
route del default gw 10.0.0.1 dev eth0

##################################
                              
                  Thanks 
                       Joseph John
