I am trying to connect to our work network from home. At work we have Astaro 7.404 and at home I'm using VPN Tracker 5 from Equinux on a Mac.
I can successfully create the IPSec tunnel and see hosts on my work network. But this only works if I enter my home's public IP into VPN's 'Local IP' field.
I should put my home machine's local IP in this field (eg a 192.168.0.x number), but if I do this, then Phase 2 of the connection fails (Astaro rejects it).
The problem with using my home's public IP is that when I try to access hosts on my work network (such as checking for new emails) it fails when the VPN connection is active.
Any idea why Astaro demands that I use my home public IP?
A more detailed explanation of the problem from Equinux support can be found at:

TIA,
James.
