Hello I have two nics and a DHCP server on my server (192.168.0.1), which iptables controlled fine for years, but when i got a new job and switched to a new server + started working through VPN i saw some problems. I'm having issues with the VPN, i can sit for like 10 minutes an try to make a proper connection with Ciscos anyConnect against the company network, getting all kinds of responses, often not even a connect prompt. The local firewall has been disabled on this PC 192.168.0.132). If i plug this PC straight to the WAN instead of the server, VPN works fine and fast. It seems that the traffic on my internal network somehow is being delayed, for instance SSH, i can wait for 30 seconds before the keystrokes are shown on the screen. I don't recall that was an issue before the VPN issue appeared. Also there seems to be some packageloss, sending 10 packages from the company PC at home to the server/gateway results in packageloss from 10 to 40% Anyone got an idea for this? I've been trying to figure out the problem for some time now and thought i had solved it some months ago, but apparently not. WAN is connected to eth0 and LAN to eth1 LAN is 192.168.0.0/24 chain INPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0
