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

Keep in mind for some reason local host doesn't seem to work at all.. And it confuses me..

Above i did try to set at one point in time a static ip and force it to go back around however didn't work either..

Anythoughts on this??

What did i miss? I even turned firewalls off thinking that might have been the issue for not allowing the two nodes to connect together on the same system.
