Re: [Users] FreeS/WAN Tunneling Problem with WLAN clients

Jussi, thanks for your response!

Fortunately for SSH it is not Sentinel which is to blame.
Actually I have set "Deny unprotected IP traffic" but even
without it the routing through the tunnels is ok. The only
improvement that I would really appreciate with Sentinel is
a possibility to move the order of the VPN connections (a
feature similar to the Pre- and PostIPsec filter rules where
the order can be changed using the up and down arrows). VPN
connections are always appended at the back. This means that
I must create the more restrictive tunnels first and the
general 0.0.0.0/0 tunnel as the last connection.

The fault is clearly on the FreeS/WAN side since it does not
seem to be able to route the incoming packets into another
tunnel leaving at the same ipsec interface.

Kind regards

Andreas
