Hello,
I don't have a great deal of experience in server administration, but i've just built a fresh ubuntu server 12.04 box for minecraft purposes and i'd like to be able to connect to it while i'm away from hom. i want to get an openvpn server up and running and i think it'd be great experience to get this working on my own.
so far i've been able to install all the software using
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openvpn.html for documentation (also had to use this
https://forums.openvpn.net/topic10528.html to fix an initial bump in the road i had), installed tunnelblick on my mac laptop, and connected successfully to the server from a different network!
the only problem i'm having, is that i don't understand networking to well, and from the instructions i see i should be able to ping the openvpn server at 10.8.0.1, which i can, but i'm not able to ssh into my ubuntu box, or access other hosts on the network.
i guess i'm just confused at this point, i seem to have set it up alright, but am totally missing how to configure things....
all i want to do is:
- once successfully VPNd in, ssh into hosts on my home network.
i'd be glad to provide any useful info, thank you!
