good point Conrad, with one correction and an additional tip:
Since the tunnel server/client will only run on a Linksys GS box, there is certainly enough space to install tcpdump on them. I have it on my GS2 client and my NS2 server.
one additional tip to test a server's ability to receive the vtun traffic thru an external firewall:
on the remote network, it's useful to see if your vtun traffic is getting to the target nodes vtun server process thru their firewall. An EASY test is to use telnet.
from my osx commandline, i run: telnet remoteServerDNSnameOrIPAddress 5525
If you get back a response that says "VTun version 2.6", then the remote firewall is properly forwarding to your server. |
