Routing question

chipconnection

Hello all,

The LAN the Access Server is on is in the 192.168.1.x subnet. I know some of the people I want to connect from the outside will also be on that network.

All I need is for people outside the office to access one server machine on the 'home' network. Is there a way to setup routing such that the external people could use an OpenVPN IP (in the 172.24.x.x subnet) and have that traffic get directed to the server? Thus eliminating DNS lookup issues.

Thanks,
-John

Well the short answer is that you really should re-IP the network behind the Access Server to avoid the problem. Using 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24, or 192.168.2.0/24 is asking for problems, I'm afraid.

The long answer is, maybe, with iptables and NAT source and destination NAT, you might be able to achieve something, but it will get very hairy very quickly and we have no guides available for this, sorry.

iptables NETMAP target...

But indeed better re-IP server side.
Do not use following common subnets:

Ah yeah netmap, thanks. Gives me something to investigate. Also thanks for the long list of common addresses, although I didn't realize some of those higher numbered 192.168.*.* addresses were so 'common'.

Pippin

The list I made with the help of various sites like:
https://www.techspot.com/guides/287-default-router-ip-addresses/
https://www.routeripaddress.com/
It does not only contain routers but also access points, switches etc.
Some addresses will be very common and others less.
