Hello All,
I am hoping someone can help me with this. It seems so simple but does not work.
So basically i have an office and a home network. All i want to do is remote in from anywhere using Open VPN Client and then be able to access anything on the network in the office.
From reading all the documentation this seems perfectly doable, but for some reason it does not work.
At the moment i have OpenVPN Access Server running on Ubuntu 18.04 at the office.
The office has a static IP.
I can connect no problem from home after downloading my profile. But i cannot access anything on the network.
Basically i have a linux box running my 3d printers at 10.1.1.59 and i want to be able to access them from home.
I have a desktop PC 10.1.1.166 and i want to be able to remote desktop in.
and i have the linux Server (running access server) which i want to be able to ssh into.
I have read the following guide:
https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/site-to-site-routing-explained-in-detail/ but it does not serve my purpose for 2 reasons.
1. I do not want to have to be running under a client gateway. ( i want to be able to remote in from anywhere, whether i am down the road on my home network, or in a coffee shop in spain.
2. I don't need Site to Site, I do not need to access the office network from ANY device on my home network, Just whichever one i install the client on and connect with.
Would anyone be willing to help me out here with config? Is this achievable?
ideally i connect to the VPN on my laptop anywhere and then instantly i can ssh into 10.1.1.70 or remote desktop 10.1.1.166 and my laptop has no idea i am not on the same network.
I am able to forward ports for remote desktop and my 3d printer server but it is really not very secure.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Mike.
