Your mention of ListenAddress reminded me that
ursa is a firewall; I wonder if my iptables rules are

on the machine which you have a problem with?

I dug into this further and my iptables rules do
seem to be the problem. My rules are dropping packets
on the INPUT chain. That's the default policy for
the INPUT chain. There's a rule to accept packets
for new connections originating on the LAN interface.
But maybe that rule doesn't apply to ursa's connection
to itself (for the tunneling)? I don't know
enough about iptables to know if that's
the case. Or how to fix it ...
