SSH to VPN Serve From Remote Client
Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2021 4:54 am
Hi! New to VPN's any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have the latest SoftEther VPN software running on 18.04 Ubuntu Server. The VPN server is connected to the LAN via a single ethernet interface (I have 2 NICs only 1 is bridged).
eth0: x.x.x.2 - running SoftEther in bridge mode on this interface - connected to 10.0.x.x LAN
eth1: x.x.x.3 - connected to x.x.x.1 LAN
Remote laptop, VPN connection to SoftEther
I would like to be able to connect to the VPN server host itself, via SSH, from a remote VPN client. However, the server's eth0 (bridged x.x.x.2) and eth1 (not bridged x.x.x.3) does not respond to pings, SSH requests, or anything else from the remote client. I can ping everything else on the LAN while remotely connected.
The VPN is operating in bridge mode and the client receives its DHCP address from another DHCP server on the LAN, which should place all machines (server, client) in the same subnet.
What configuration changes are required to allow the server running SoftEther VPN to be accessible from the remote client? (The server is reachable if I connect to another host on the LAN, and then SSH to the VPN server from that intermediate host, so it is not a generic SSH or connectivity issue.)
Thanks!!!
