How to visit client from server side?
-
Hi all,
Recently I'm encountering a problem when connect two offices together via vpn. I'm able to access site B(OpenVpn Server) from site A(OpenVpn Client) following by this introduction: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Routing_internet_traffic_through_a_site-to-site_OpenVPN-connection_in_PfSense_2.1 but reverse is failed. What I'm missing?
Your help will be very appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

A firewall rule at clients OpenVPN interface to permit access.
-
If the client isn't the default gateway in its network, an appropriate route at the hosts you want to reach or a NAT rule at the client.
-
Consider that windows firewall like some other software firewalls block access from remote networks by default.

Thank you Viragomann, I don't think it's about client end, as if I trace the package, it was stuck at server side, the server can't route it to client properly.

Are you attempting access from a server-side network for which the client has a route? Meaning the server side network the client can access?
viragomann listed all the things it's likely to be.
If you can connect in one direction but not the other it's probably firewall rules, not routes.

Yes Derelict, The firewall rules mentions by the link above all have been applied but still doesn't work, do you mean they are probably not enough?
