HI, i hope someone can help. I’ve 2 Ipfire connected over opnvpn on one side there is an special TI Gateway with the ip 192.168.100.237 now i would like to get this gateway from the second side. On the second side I insert statis routing 188.144.0.0/15 Gateway 192.168.100.237. Ping to 192.168.100.237 works but tracert to 188.144.7.178 will be ignored and not routet over vpn. What i’m doing wrong?? greetings Mario ---

Hi, first, welcome to the IPFire community. 🙂 Since I am not quite sure I have understood you correctly, would you mind posting screenshots of both IPFire machines’ [routing tables](https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/status/network_other) here? Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
