hmm I tried that but it didnt seem to want to let me specify the interface just printed out the options for traceroute...
Sorry Andrew, my bad. I had a connection via OpenVPN to a remote server and did the test quickly ... from a Mac. Was lost in other shell stuff and forgot I wasn't on the same platform as you this time. Can you do anything with ping -R (I'm sure that's universal) to record the route and see what happens. Other than that I'm lost on what you could try.
Apologies, James
If you have a VPN established and routing setup correctly then a traceoute will show only the main gateway for the VPN and the other endpoint ... then any other routes after that.
Like this:
[johnny@myth kernel]$ traceroute 192.168.169.40 traceroute to 192.168.169.40 (192.168.169.40), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 192.168.10.3 (192.168.10.3) 0.720 ms 0.424 ms 0.369 ms 2 192.168.168.40 (192.168.169.40) 89.227 ms 87.933 ms 114.058 ms
