Xelerance provides a few servers to test whether or not OE is properly running. If a functional OE setup is detected, ipsec
livetest
will run an OE test for you. But you can also manually trigger an OE connection. For example, www.openswan.org
, lists.openswan.org
, and www.xelerance.com
all run full OE. The only thing you need to do is watch the logs and launch a ping to those sites. You should see something like this:
