Port Forwarding OVER open-VPN
-
I have a local office with a block of static IPs and then another site hosting a few servers.
What I would like is to leverage the local public IP to access and have this port forward/Route back to the servers at the other location.
Public IPs <–--Local site---> OpenVPN 10.0.8.1 <------> OpenVPN 10.0.8.2 <----Remote site ---> Web Servers
I've tried various attempts at port forwarding from the local site to the remote OpenVPN IP and various other changes with no success . Thought I better ask before I break something.
Thanks!

It can be done. I have done it on the bench. First step is assigning interfaces to your OpenVPN instances. You have to do the one where NAT occurs but you might as well do both.
Have you done that?

You sir are the man!
I drove onsite just to be safe while making the changes and it looks like its working great!
They were stretching the same network subnet across the OpenVPN before and didn't require the extra work but there were weird IP drops happening so I rebuilt one side with a different subnet and followed your thread and have it back up and working with no drops.

Glad it worked for you.
