Traffic from utun interface IP 192.0.2.43

[munish45]

The issue of packets from IP 192.0.2.43 has been raised earlier also but I could not find any satisfactory response. The TCP listener at port 9541, 9543 and others is running on utun interface with IP 192.0.2.43. Netstat -a shows Hundreds of connections established. TCP Traffic also goes out with source IP 192.0.2.43 which is intercepted by my ASA firewall by "reverse path check" policy on inside interface and stopped..

If this virtual interface is for internal processes of UVM then why the traffic needs to be originated to outside destination IP and too when there is no load (On weekends).

The interface is said to be used by OpenVPN also (p-t-p) but I am not using this module also even why these outbound connections.

Thanks

It has nothing to do with Openvpn. it's an address used internally by the uvm. A Linux kernel bug causes them to leak outisde occasionally. They are harmless.
