Hi, with recent guest installs (both centos 5 and 7) on centos 7 hosts I seem to have to disable checksum offloading using "ethtool -K eth0 tx off" in order to allow traffic to flow a specific route. Basically the guest is installed with IP 192.168.21.10 and a default gateway of 192.168.21.254. Up until that point I can ssh into the system normally. There exists an OpenVPN System with

Normally this is just fine as almost no applications in the guest OS will operate directly on the ethernet packets, so will never even realize that...
