Access server via public ip

florianrogner

Dear all,

I am running an OpenVPN server on my debian machine, used to tunnel out of a network which is secured via a proxy. I am using a TCP connection on port 993 to get out of my network and access the server which is running OpenVPN. I can access all services at the server's private IP (10.8.0.1), however, I am not allowed to access the server via it's public ip address. Neither a ping, nor a HTTP request are successful. The result of the ping is a 36 bytes from 10.100.115.250: Communication prohibited by filter which sounds strange to me. A HTTP request in the browser simply never gets through.

Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it?

Thanks already,
flo
