Email Server behind openVPN site-site
-
Dear All,
I have setup a OpenVPN Site-Site for my Email server, and I also can access the Email Server(10.0.10.1) from Site Client(10.0.9.10).
How can I access the Email Server from internet throught Site Client which I have already set NAT forward to 10.0.10.1.
The Site Host's log appears that there are some successful connections from the WAN of Site Client, but the response is time out. I think the problem is the routing, how can solve this?Site Host

The return routing in such cases won't go back via the VPN and hence you break the TCP connection. You'll need to source NAT with manual outbound NAT to work around that.

FYI- on 2.1 if you assign the openvpn interface and add a pass rule on its tab, that rule will get reply-to added so that the return traffic will flow back the right way without needing the extra NAT to mask the source address.
