Access Web Server via VPN

Post by Venky » Wed Sep 02, 2015 2:34 pm

Hi

Iam able to connect to VPN server and trying to access the webserver.
Able to ping the webserver ip, but not able to open the webserver link on browser.

The webserver has a public ip and accessible only via VPN.

How to fix this problem?

When you connect a VPN, a route pointing the public IP of the server to the original gateway will be added, not only for SoftEther.

Therefore, you should not use the same public IP for the web server and the VPN server. You should use different public IPs or private IP.

If you connect to LAN of the web server, you can access to the web server with the private IP address of the web server.
If so, I think you don't need routing configuration.

Hi all,
I've a similar problem:
I'm connected to the LAN of the web server but the browser doesn't open the page of the web server even if I can ping it correctly.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Fabio

Sounds like DNS problem.

Try a static DNS entry of the website hostname pointing to IP address.

Do you use Linux as VPN server?
Do you use SecureNAT?
