iPhone VPN for using RDP

mactag
Hi,

I have successfully configured Remote Access using SSL and can Remote Desktop into my work pc from home.

I have also successfully configured L2TP overIPSec and made a successful VPN connection on my iPhone. However, when trying to use app Mocha Remote Desktop Lite the connection fails. I have tried it with an IP address and DNS name.

If I ping any pc at work from my iPhone  with a VPN connection I receive a 'No response from host' message.

I have attached screenshots of what I think are relevant screens. There are no DNAT/SNAT rules set up.

Please help this newbie

Thanks,
Mark.

    Are you double-NATting?  I guess I don't "see" your network topology.

    Response to pings is determined by the settings on the 'ICMP' tab of 'Packet Filter'.  If the Astaro isn't the default gateway for the internal devices, then you'll want to add a static route in your layer 3 switch, like '10.242.0.0/16 -> {IP of Astaro}'

    Cheers - Bob

    Thanks for your help Bob.

    The final piece in the jigsaw was creating a static route in my layer 3 for the 10.242.0.0 subnet and pointing it to the Astaro.

    I still can't ping but I understand why.

    Thanks,
    Mark.

    One last thing.

    I am right in thinking that once you have a VPN connection there is no need for port forwarding etc. because you are effectively part of the internal network.

    It's probably a stupid question but I am still getting my head around VPN.

    Thanks,
    Mark.
