From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Question about gre tunnels (lemmy.goblackcat.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello, I have a rather complicated need to use a gre tunnel and I am having difficulty getting it working. The tunnel is between my home server and Oracle VM. Below is a picture of the topology with config.

Pings between the home server and Oracle VM over the gre tunnel do not seem to be going through as evidenced by tcpdump. I do notice however that the firewall has the correct state table showing that address translation. I am certain that both machines' firewalls are not dropping packets because iptables is not showing anything dropped. I am at a loss here so I welcome any ideas.

gre implies you want to run dynamic routing over the tunnel but no routing is configured? If you don't need dynamic routing (why would you on a P2P tunnel?) but do want privacy then use IPsec or SSH instead?
