Hello guys, i have followed the "devcontainer" way and sorted out the permission, i can see my "softether" created TAP interface in the container. but it doesnt solve my previous problem as in my previous post...

Hi openaspace, by working correctly do you mean you can run basic L2TP tunnels without turning on secureNAT? i have been trying to do this for quite some time already but i totally cant get it to work at all. the TAP device is not getting any mac-address from the network and i have no idea how...

Hi openaspace, I still cant get it running on unprivileged container yet. i guess there might be a way to fix it but i cant. sigh.

This is actually what i did from the first post! and my VPN server did successfully created the TAP device but no traffic is running from the CT to the host.....

Hi Guletz, according to this: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt therefore, the /dev/net/tun is the only device file needed for tun/tap? so i bind mount the /dev/net/tun into the container for the creation of the tap device? if not, i cant find what else shall be...

Oicccccc! I'm outside now, will give these a try when i get back! Thanks!! So i should bind mount /dev/net/tap instead?

Hi guletz, isnt the /dev/net/tun device file a pointer to the tap/tun driver which is neccessary for processes to point to it; and create a tap device from it? this is what i understand from previous research. and most instructions found on the internet uses this approach. does creating tap...

I'm sorry for posting the same thing on 2 forums, but i just realised this the the part where we talk about networking and maybe this is a more suitable place? previous post...

I'm still desperate on settling this issue. anyone have some ideas?

thanks for discussing with me. I hope there are more ideas here from the community could lead me to a solution.

L2TP/IPsec is a sort of Layer 2 VPN through a secure IPsec tunnel, therefore, the DHCP will be done inside the tunnel. no matter which tunnel protocol i'm going to run, if no mac addresses can be learnt from the bridge interface, no network connectivity can be established. it doesnt seem like...

I have ran tcpdump on the PVE host and i cannot see any DHCP traffic going out of my physical interface. and then i dont know how to further investigate.

just found this on the softether interface, which shows the mac address learned from the local-bridge, on the local-bridge built on the container's eth0, i can see mac addresses. but on the local-bridge built on the TAP interface, no mac can be learnt

can someone help to point me to the direction on how to further investigate please? hope to at least find out if its the host config's or the container config's problem
