Having problems connecting

[Henk]

Parke,

Thank you for your suggestion, but I am already using those subnet settings.
And how could they be wrong if the two peers start communicating at some point without changing the settings?

What Subnet= settings have you used in each hosts file on each host?

In the hosts files, you might want to try setting each host's Subet= to its own <VPN ip address>/32.  For example:

On the first:
Subnet=10.23.23.1/32

On the second:
Subnet=10.23.23.2/32

The subnet of a host (in the host's hosts file) is different from the subnet of the VPN interface on the host.
