HI
I have installed openVPN access server on EsXI+Ubuntu.
I am able to connect fine and access internal networks as far as i am connecting from the private IP 10.10.50.X.
Now my machine is behind a router doing NAT.
I did one to one NAT of Private to Public IP.
Now the problem is that when i download the client- openvpn connect - it is showing me private IP only to connect - 10.10.50.x
I want this to be changed to my Public IP.
One the server network setting page - i have already changed to "Hostname or IP Address: PUBLIC IP"
still same thing.
Also when i try to do a connectivity test from the GUI of openvpn access server - it fails and gives error.
However when i ping the google DNS from ubuntu command line - it is pingable
Not sure what i am missing?

Re: OpenVPN Connect - Public IP Issue
After you change the setting in 'host name or ip address' to a DNS name (or a public IP if you must) you need to click the update running servers button. On top of that, you need to download a new copy of the client.ovpn file for this client.
I'm still alive, just posting under the openvpn_inc alias now as part of a larger group.
