I'm confused about udp vs tcp and how it behaves with NAT. The OpenVPN
server is on a public network with a public IP. The workstation is
WindowsXP in VirtualBox double natted (host, and my firewall). When I
use UDP I execute this command on the Windows host
route add 10.0.9.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.0.9.229
I can _not_ ping 10.0.9.1. If I use protocol TCP I can ping 10.0.9.1.
So does the proto UDP only work if both hosts have a real address and
not a private one behind a NAT box?
I estimates that 99% the server and the client will both be behind
firewalls and on private networks.
