Hello,

I would like to understand is there any easy way to restrict access between peers in the same VPN server meaning Peer1 should not be able for example to ping Peer2 unless it is needed.

Also is it possible to easy retrieve somehow the existing peers private IP addresses?

Another thing is how can we restrict peers to not be able to access the Pritunl gateway?

Thank you!

There isn’t any support for this in Pritunl, there may be some cases where it could be restricted with custom iptables rules.
