SSL VPN Routing

Can someone give me some clarity?  I am having brain fade here.

1.) let's say I have our internal network(LAN) as 192.168.1.X.

2.) I then give a user the SSL VPN software to take home and setup.  His/Her small network at home is also 192.168.1.X

The user can make connections just fine and connect via outlook and make requests to servers on our internal lan.

But when I go to connect to the users laptop from the internal network I can't. I see the initial connect attempt go across via the packet filter log, but nothing comes back.

I am assuming the return packets(acks) get lost on his network rather than routing back to the corporate LAN?  Am I thinking about this correctly?

If so what can I do? MS's PPTP seems to work around this just fine, but I would rather use the Astaro client.

Thanks,
-Scott

Scott,

as I see it, the laptop gets an new virtual ip when loggin in the vpn. So if you want to connect to this laptop, you have to use this ip.

Thanks, but that is the IP I am trying to connect to. It's one of the addresses from the VPN pool.

Well. This looks technically possible using iptables and the iptables NETMAP directive ,but I don't see any of the functionality available via the GUI. That would be a nice feature. [:)]

It looks like I will just have to go through the muck of calling the end users and showing them how to change their routers at home from a 192.168.1.X network to something else we don't route.
