<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light"">Currently I have a good connection from the mobile devices, through a router and into StrongSwan. So the VPN server is running and accepting requests. I can run a ping from the StrongSwan server
to the router/mobile device fine. I can also run a ping from the DNS server to StrongSwan fine. However when I try to ping from Strong Swan to the DNS server, I get nothing at all. They are both on the same virtual subnet, and can ping in one direction but
not the other. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light"">So… pinging from the DNS server to StrongSwan, works fine…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light"">However when pinging from StrongSwan to the DNS server, I get no response.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light"">This is my routing table in StrongSwan.. As you can see there is a route to connect to the DNS server which is 172.17.61.10 out of eth1 which is correct, but when I run the command I get no response.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light"">I have ran my environment on a different laptop to rule this out of the problem.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HPFutura Light"">Does anyone have any bright ideas as to what might be causing this issues. Any help would be much appreciated.
