VPNC Nortel, connects without inbound traffic.

Hi there, I'm running with some trouble at VPNC, Nortel Branch.

It connects:

$ sudo vpnc

vpnc version 0.5.3-457
IKE SA selected psk-3des-sha1
NAT status: no NAT-T VID seen
got address 10.250.32.177
IPSEC SA selected aes128-sha1
VPNC started in background (pid: 1750)...

I can see the TUN device:

$ ifconfig tun0
tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
          inet addr:10.250.32.177  P-t-P:10.250.32.177  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1412  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:68 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:4875 (4.7 Kb)

I can see an active connection:

$ netop
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name   
udp        0      0 192.168.0.20:500        201.134.185.243:500     ESTABLISHED 1750/vpnc           
raw        0      0 0.0.0.0:50              0.0.0.0:*               7           1750/vpnc           

But, as you can see from the ifconfig, I don't receive any traffic.
I cannot connect to any host at all, inside or outside the VPN, except for the VPN's Gateway public IP.

I can connect with a  Windows Client, although, I don't know if it's an issue, it displays an Acknowledge Banner.

Any Clues?

Re: VPNC Nortel, connects without inbound traffic.

Are you connecting via network manager? If so please run nm-connection-editor, in VPN tab edit you connection, in IPv4 settings you have button 'Routes' and you have to uncheck the 'Use this connection only for resources on its network'.

And reconnect.
