VPN connect to server from lan-IP (client) to the public-IP (server) in LAN

Post by jokantor » Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:42 pm

The intention is having portable devices such us laptops and phones that can easily connect to the network the vpn server locates on the front of the network as a gateway contains two network cards (wlan/public-IP and lan/local-IP).
I have a small problem with firewall (iptables) regarding vpn connection. All the configuration works fine as long as i can user following scenarios settings:
1.
Connect from public-IP (client) to public-IP (server)
no problems
2.
Connect from lan-IP (clinet) to lan-IP (server). All local IP's
no problems
3.
Connect form lan-IP (client) to public-IP (server). From local IP to the same local network but via public IP.
following error:

Code: Select all

openvpn.log contains:
