Re: get ip of active gateway

I have to read up what that even is.
Another solution would be if I could use an ip that never changes as src-sa-address.
Tried that (again, did it already a long time ago) and to my surprise, on many routers it did work (took the IP of the LAN). But on one system it doesn't.
