Hi

I've resolved the issue , i changed config from tun device to tap device, the tun device was creating a tunnel , meaning all traffic was being routed to it , inluding internet , the tap device with a routing rule only routes the traffic defined.

Hi GG,

1. What is your reason for mixing IPSec and PPTP (or is it L2TP)? Why don't you just use OpenVPN to service everyone? 2. VPN Server being behind a firewall isn't an issue, because you are just passing gre packets, ama? 3. Clearly explain the scenario that creates (and define) the 'lock'.

Hi Guys

Quick one.. I've configured both open vpn and pptp vpns and both are working well except that whenever the client connects it locks out users.. Now here is the setup

Vpn server is on my LAN behind a firewall Client machine is on the cloud

Both vpns work

Objectives

1. Use my LAN monitoring server to get snmp stats from the cloud server

2. Continue accessing the cloud server outside my LAN via its public ip
