Hub & Multi-Spoke VPN - allow communication between spokes?
-
I currently have a hub and spoke ipsec vpn set up with communication working only from each spoke to the hub not the other spokes. I would like to have the spokes communicate with each other with out destroying the current configuration and moving to a mesh (tinc) but id be open to some feedback on the benefits of tinc over my current configuration so maybe in the future I will migrate to that.
I have read that adding another phase 2 to the spoke I wish to communicate with then repeat that on the other spoke will accomplish this but I have been unsuccessful getting that to work. Do I need to add another phase 2 to the each spoke in the hub as well? I have 7 spokes and it seems like to get them to communicate will be a lot of phase 2 entries…
Here is my current vpn
Hub
10.0.1.0/24Spokes
10.0.2-8.0/24Let me know if what I want to accomplish with what I have set up is feasible.

Since you cannot create static routes over IPsec, you need to add Phase2 entries linking the remote and local subnets, on every spoke.
Yes, they will be a lot. If you want full connectivity you will need 8 Phase2's on each spoke.
Best regards!

Do you have an example of this setup or some kind of a guide? I've been trying to get my open vpn setup this way but cannot get more than 1 site to connect to the server successfully.
