When I am on the VPN, I can ping my file server--a FreeBSD ZFS machine. I can even ping via its DNS name ("servy"--creative, eh?). However, if I try to SSH to the server, I get:
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer.
I also am unable to find the Samba shares (not currently running NFS, but will in the future).
Attaching to Samba/NFS through the VPN isn't critical at the moment, but I would like to be able to if possible. I'd really like to have SSH access to it, because I think I'm having a drive go out in the not-so-distant future, so I'd like to be able to keep an eye on the server and shut it down remotely if need be.
I checked the rc.conf on the server, and I'm not running a firewall. That will change soon, but currently it is open.
What could be causing the issue?
A couple of side notes: I have the User Portal open to the external connection. Is this a good idea, or should it be internal only?
I have it currently set up as SHA1 for authentication algorithm, but I see several options up to SHA-512. Should I be using a higher level?
