Hello all,
I am trying to configure VPN server, by using a private ip address. Here is my scenario:
I have two routers, conencted wirelessly. Each router has a separate local network connected to it - 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. Only the first router has a public ip address assigned to it. The VPN server is located on the 192.168.2.0/24 network, connected to the second router.
On the client configuration side, I am using the public ip address of the primary router with port 1194. On the first router, I am port forwarding all request for 1194 to the ip address of the second router. On the second router, I am port forwarding all traffic for 1194 to the ip address of the VPN server. When I try to connect from outside the network, I am getting "connection refused error message". So i disabled all firewalls on both routers, on the client pc and on the server. That did not help at all. I tried to test my configuration, by trying to connect from 192.168.1.0/24 network , by specifying the local ip of the VPN server and it worked great. This mean that the configuration is correct and the issue is only somewhere between the routers.
Can you please give me suggestions what I can do to get my VPN configuration running successfully? I would really appreciate all your help.

Im not sure but you could try putting the VPN server on second router into the DMZ that way its unprotected from the second router.
I have windows with ICS and a Wireless router and the computer that is the ICS PC cant connect to any other computers on the lan, all others on the routers LAN can connect to the ICS PC but its one way.
