Like I mentioned to the other user it has nothing to do with security I’ve just seen mentioning the vendor derail one too many Reddit discussions. Suddenly the topic becomes less about networking and troubleshooting and more about why the vendor sucks. I’m not gonna do it! Who we use should be 100% irrelevant here?
Fair enough, but if you don’t trust your vendor’s security enough to even share who they are, you should probably be looking at different vendors.
Good luck
It’s not that! It’s just to me who we use should be irrelevant. On Reddit I run into a lot of attitudes at time as soon as you name the vendor it derails the whole topic “oh you use X? You noob try using a real product like Cisco!” Not saying that’s what you would do I just have had one too many bad experiences like that on Reddit. Sorry if that irritated you.
There’s plenty of people responding about tools like what the topic is about. You look like an ass continually harassing me demanding to know what vendor I use!
It’s not though. Whatever you’re using is doing weird shit like sucking up ICMP lol.
Not irritated - just hard to help without knowing anything.
For reference, I’ve had to configure pretty much every VPN solution out there for my work; Cisco, Meraki, Juniper, Fortigate, PaloAlto, Sonicwall, plain Openvpn and wireguard running on debian/rhel… you name it. No judgment on anyone for who they use, although if I think something else might work better for you I’d probably say so.
There’s rarely a one-size-fits-all solution; if a little ping script would have worked, that would have been it… in the absence of that I need to ask followup questions.
Your concern is understandable, people do like to dunk on solutions they aren’t used to.
But spoofing ICMP responses really isn’t expected behavior for a VPN client under normal circumstances, so the question is warranted and would allow folks here to check if it’s a common issue with what you’re using.
Taking it up with the vendor makes sense, then you can go from there.
