I have been struggling with an issue on this new installation where allstar can't connect to a node on its own self.. I can't figure this out no matter what i have tried.. Here is the topology of the system. We have a vpn connection that starts on boot so that way we have full access to the systems from our local servers.. The reason we vpn this is because we go out across Verizon 4G LTE network then come back into our servers systems. Here is what ip addr spits out. root@debian:~# ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 04:8d:38:3d:b6:f4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:22:4d:7c:5f:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.2/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global enp1s0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 2600:1008:b04c:ca22:222:4dff:fe7c:5f94/64 scope global mngtmpaddr dynamic valid_lft 86382sec preferred_lft 14382sec inet6 fe80::222:4dff:fe7c:5f94/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN group default qlen 100 link/none inet 192.168.8.162 peer 192.168.8.161/32 scope global tun0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::fe4d:c773:1afa:cead/64 scope link flags 800 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever root@debian:~# Here is what iax2 show registry says.
