I am running a LAN connected to the internet via broadband/router combo, and a remote laptop that has a dialup connection. I want laptop to be able to see my LAN I have installed OpenVPN on both laptop, and a PC on the LAN. Both machines have Windows XP. I have followed instructions on OpenVPN site (very unix based!), but not managed to ping each end yet. I noticed the documentation talking about setting up a firewall: "OpenVPN's usage of a single UDP port makes it fairly firewall-friendly. You should add an entry to your firewall rules to allow incoming OpenVPN packets. On Linux 2.4+: iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s 1.2.3.4 --dport 5000 -j ACCEPT This will allow incoming packets on UDP port 5000 (OpenVPN's default UDP port) from an OpenVPN peer at 1.2.3.4. " ...very unix based - I think this assumes that firewall is on same machine as the VPN server, hence when you open the port, you don't need to provide an IP address to forward the traffic on to ? On my LAN the firewall is in my Netgear router, and the VPN server is a seperate machine, connected to the router. I have set up port forwarding to forward traffic to UDP port 5000 to the VPN Server machine - is this right ? where am I going wrong ? ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
