Issues Connecting to Server

Post by ahartman89 » Wed Nov 06, 2019 9:16 pm

I am having trouble connecting to my VPN server.

The network my server is on consists of the following:
Modem: Public IP: 216.x.x.x Local IP: 192.168.0.1
Router: 10.225.5.1/255.255.255.0
OpenVPN Server: Local to above router: 10.225.5.168 Subnet Address:10.225.6.1

I have placed 10.225.5.168 in the DMZ. What am I missing?

Use port-forwarding not DMZ

If your VPN client isn't connecting, try opening a website without connecting through a VPN to see if your internet connection is working. If it's not, restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. If your internet is still down, it may be a problem at your ISP's end.
