Few questions from a newbie
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2011 5:51 pm
I sucessfully installed OpenVPN and now client connects to a server but only if it is on the same subnet.( I installed them on a private LAN. Server runs on 192.168.1.4 and client on 192.168.1.6( or similar).
So far so good.
My questions:
1.
I would like to connect to a server in a different subnet but in private IP too.
So I forwarded port 1194 but
must I forward both server's and client's address ports or only a server's address port?
2. My server subnet has local( private )addresses 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.19, MASK 255.255.255.0)
My client subnet has local( private) addresses 192.168.1.20 - 192.168.1.240, MASK 255.255.255.0)
Is that OK?
3. Is there a way how to check/test( without OpenVPN) that my router forwards 1194 ports correctly?E.g. from a console?(I would like to eliminate router's problem)
Thanks
