OK, lets see if I can explain this coherently.
I start up "ppp -auto" in my rc.local. This adds a default route through
tun0 to my router.
If I then try to connect inbound to the FreeBSD machine, "ppp -demand" is
started no problem. It states in the ppp.log that it is using tun1 but
it tries to use the route through tun0. ("route get myrouter"
returns a route through tun0) Naturally any outbound packets
vanish.
I have experimented quite a bit with and discovered the following:
If I start "ppp -auto" in rc.local but then do a "route flush" when I log
in then everything works beautifully... almost. Obviously I can't dial
out in this situation but if I connect inbound it works no problem. Once
I drop this connection, I can now try to connect outbound again and it
succeeds, changing the route from tun1 to tun0 in the process. If I drop
the line, any subsequent connections in either direction work, switching
the route appropriately.
Why then will my initial inbound connection not properly switch the route
from tun0 to tun1? I suppose I could make the ppplogin shell a setuid
_program_ which first does the route flush and then execs ppp but that is
pretty ugly.
What is going on here?
