ppp0 on the router or your local computer?

Note this important point: “By default Linux uses the IP of the interface used to route a package.”

..just to clarify; when VPN (ppp0) is up I am not able to get any response from a ping to any computer on the remote network (10.1.10.XXX)

..ping works fine if I connect from windows!

I’m having a problem trying to route traffic over a VPN that I set up, maybe you can clarify things for me..

My local computer has an IP of 192.168.1.103
Local router is at 192.168.1.1

The network I’m connecting to has LAN IPs in the 10.1.10.XXX range.

my vpn is created as adapter ppp0 with an IP in the 10.1.10.2XX range

For this scenario, how do I direct traffic over the VPN?
