I apologize. I tested again, and setting net.link.ether.inet.useloopback=0 does indeed restore previous behavior, and is a valid workaround for running OpenVPN unchanged. Matthias, you might want to have a notice to that effect added to the port for the time being. I agree that assigning the same address to both the local and the remote address of a p2p link is not really sensible, and will try to come up with a patch to OpenVPN. Thanks for the clarification and insight, Stefan -- Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> Fon +49 151 14070811
