I'm currently trying out the 30 days trial version of Astaro Secure Client.
The VPN connection works fine, I can connect to the intranet on another site without problems. By the way I like the way that system administrator just handed out a .p12 and .ini file and installation takes only a few seconds. Thumbs up for that approach!
However, now my local network doesn't work like before. I was hoping that disconnecting the VPN would bring the setup back to the original but that isn't the case. Below are my observations, please comment:
Ethernet card IP is 192.168.1.26 net mask 255.255.255.0
VPN IP was set to 192.168.1.88 net mask 255.255.255.0
I can access the gateway (ADSL router) 192.168.1.1 based on the fact that I can browse the Internet.
I can't access hosts on local net such as network printer and other PC on net.
I can't ping anything on local net, including gateway (192.168.1.0)
From another PC on the local net I cannot access a share on 192.168.1.26 - and also not on 192.168.1.88.
Routes with VPN connection connected and disconnected are listed below. It seems the 192.168.1.26 is disabled - metric above 16 is apparently too long a path?
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug in ASC?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Thanks,
Michael
