Hi, and thank you for answering despite the fact i forgot to set a subject :) > Was this trace captured on interface tun0 ? yes > What is the address of vroot ? Is it the other end of the VPN ? no, it is just my dns-server that has nothing to do with the vpn. > Is the OpenVPN link configured in TUN (IP) or TAP (ethernet) mode ? it is in tun mode, i have no idea why it acts like in tap mode.
