Reaching school network from outside

skoulof

Hi everyone !
First let me show you an image to sum up the situation :

I would like to get the purple link to work !

So basically I have an openvpn server running somewhere in france with IP AA.BB.CC.DD and I am located in an engineering school which has pretty restrictive network(802.1X...+proxy). I have a TP-link WR1043ND running openwrt in my room on which I run Wpa supplicant to connect to 802.1X and an OpenVpn CLIENT to get through the school proxy.
I also have a static route that redirects all 129.104.0.0/16 to the school network via 129.104.224.254 (gateway) so I am able to reach some local awesome services without disconnecting the vpn client.

I need to reach these services while I am out of the campus i.e to fix the purple link on the image.
I am already able to ping the router IP with a computer connected to the vpn anywhere.

The server runs on 554TCP and has client-to-client enabled. all other settings are default.

I tried to create some routes and to use iroute but everytime I broke the entire setup so I finally crash here... :-)

Thanks for your help !

Should we presume that "The School" are not aware of your activities and that "The School" is not able to help ?

Honestly I am in a school of more than 2000 students and the students network is maintained by an association which I am member of. I need this setup to access a website managing the common kitchen of my platoon (it is a french military engineering school) because I was chosen to do so. The association has never tried such a setup and has other things to manage and it is no more the task of the administration to help me do that.

Now I do not see how this is relevant to my issue, that is why I did not tell that in the first place.

By the way you do not have the right to download your series through torrents, I bet you do it anyway so you can keep your distrust for yourself.

I strongly advise you consult some qualified staff ..

I advise you read the entire HOWTO.

By the way, the reason I asked if your School is aware of what you are trying to do is because it would help a lot if you have permission and professional assistance on site .. From what you have said, it sounds very much like you cannot count on either .. which makes your task much, much more difficult.
