 Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 2:24 pm Post subject: Need OpenVPN And NAT Help |
 |
|
I am trying to set up a openVPN connection, that will provide secure internet acsess via the server's internet connection. The first thing I need to do is turn the server into a internet gateway by NATing the internet connection on LAN A to the virtual LAN V.
I am going to test the NAT by setting my a simple HOC wireless network with a stand alone PC. Then NAT LAN A with WIFI A, then when that works I am going to change the NAT for LAN V.
I need some NAT software that will allow me to do this. Does anyone know of any good NAT software?
I also am not sure if my OpenVPN config files are correct for doing this, I have managed to get a VPN connection.
I am using XP Home on the server.
Server config file.
| Code: | dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
port 80
push "redirect-gateway"
push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.254"
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
secret static.key |

eh! What's Gentoo.... I take it you don't fully understand what forum site your on?? 
Gentoo is a distribution of Linux.....
This forum site is a site dedicated to helping users of Gentoo Linux 
You'd be better asking your question on an OpenVPN site or mailinglist if Gentoo isn't involved anywhere in your setup. |

The original poster asked for NAT software in Gentoo forums. I think the answer is obvious, though nobody has told him yet:
iptables
Then to try and draw back a little relevance here, I run my own OpenVPN endpoint on my Gentoo (hardened) server. It's back of a Netgear router appliance which does my NAT, so the Gentoo box is acting as a bastion host (server/router/secondary firewall) running iptables. I had to specify a static route in the Netgear so return packets could find their way to my LAN, back of the bastion host, and had to forward the OpenVPN port to it, also.
Relevance? My laptop is dual boot, XP and Gentoo, and I have OpenVPN set up on both sides, and both sides can connect just fine.
