Hi,
Here is my current situation, and it's giving me a headache, I don't know where to start to solve it:
I have a VPS with OpenVPN AS installed on it. There is also a web server and other services installed on that VPS (Minecraft server for example).
My client is on my home network, and basically all ports are blocked for various reasons except a few. I am connecting to my VPS via the VPN on the UDP port 8080. I can access internet and any internet resource without any issue when connected to the VPN, so that part is working.
However, whenever I try to access to OpenVPN AS configuration page when I am connected to the VPN, it doesn't work. I've put that on the port 8888. I also can't access the Minecraft server on the same VPS as the VPN (hence same network interface and IP). The weird thing is that I can access the web server (on the port 80) just fine.
Given the situation I explained, it seems like the routing is working fine because when I am connected to the VPN, I can:
- Access any resource on the internet
- Access the web server on the port 80 of my VPS
However for some reason, I can't access the OpenVPN web interface on the port 8888, nor a Minecraft server on the port 25585. My guess is that it could be something NAT related, but I have no idea where to start and if the problem is situated client-side or server-side.
Any idea?
PS: The OpenVPN AS web interface and the Minecraft server are working just fine when I am not connected to the VPN. I can't access them anymore from my machine when connected to the VPN, but they remain reachable for other users that aren't using the VPN.
