How can I see if I'm logged in via VPN?

Question

I use Juniper Networks (a Java program that establishes a VPN connection).

Does a command line command exist that lets me check to see if I'm logged in with Juniper?

Answer 1

If you run ifconfig you should be seeing something like tunX below:

tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
          inet addr:  P-t-P:  Mask:
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1300  Metric:1
          RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 
          RX bytes:1435 (1.4 KB)  TX bytes:1677 (1.6 KB)

Using the juniper ncdiag commands will give you this information.

• Use ncdiag -t for a tunnel test.
• Use ncdiag -h for host info.

More specifics:

$ cd ~/.juniper_networks/network_connect
~/.juniper_networks/network_connect$ file !$
file ncdiag
ncdiag: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped
~/.juniper_networks/network_connect$ ./ncdiag 
    usage: ./ncdiag -A [or]
    usage: ./ncdiag -i -s -d -t -h -a -r <hostname> -k -v
     -A : All tests
     -i : installation test 
     -s : service test 
     -d : driver tests 
     -t : tunnel test 
     -h : host info 
     -a : adaptor test 
     -r : resolve host 
     -k : kill NC gui 
     -v : version

You can also check your routes with the route command. You will see more routes as normal and to different destinations.

Example

Connected without juniper:

moose@pc07:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     2      0        0 wlan0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 wlan0
default         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0

Connected with Juniper:

moose@pc07:~$ route
