hail,

I read the pf manual from OpenBSD's site, and figured out I must have the gw IP to use in the route-to rule. But when I connect using the 3G, I get none:

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --> 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00
Opened by PID 2845

phoenix# route -n get default
route to: default
destination: default
mask: default
interface: tun0
flags: <UP,DONE,STATIC>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec mtu weight expire
0 0 0 0 1500 1 0

is there any way to use loadbalance, that is not another box just to connect ?

this box should have two tun if's, DSL and 3G.

thanks,

Your gateway should be at whatever is the opposite end of the tunnel. However, it's very strange to see an address in the localhost range on one end of a tunnel, or on anything other than a lo (loopback) interface for that matter.

I know, i got this surprised also when I first saw this. but it does work. well, I know I can't even test here as I can't get the remote end address :(

if anyone has any clue, please >)

Am I missing something here? I do not see your gateway ip? I mean how does it works? Can you ping outside?

it does work. but I have no gateway ip I can remember of. I don't have the modem here so I can't do it and post here.

I know that if I'm connected and run:

route add default -interface tun0

it works.
