Can't ping VPN Server Global IP or Dynamic DNS Hostname
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2023 9:05 pm
Hi SoftEther Community! I will very thank you for any help and advise!
My final project's goal is to run an FTP server(vsftpd) on Ubuntu over a VPN with Dynamic DNS to provide access for users via FileZilla.
But at the moment, I'm stuck connecting to my SE Dynamic DNS global IP or hostname. My users from Virtual Hub not able to ping it.
I have as my VPN Server:
1. Ubuntu Server 22.04
2. Softether VPN Server installed and configured. I'm able to run vpncmd as an administrator, and execution of the Check command passed well.
3. I disabled Firewall(ufw) for now to investigate host ping issue.
I have as my VPN Server Manager and Client:
1. Windows 10
2. SE VPN Server Manager installed
3. SE VPN Client Manager installed
4. DHCP Function activated and working fine. When a User connects with Client Manager, it allocates an IP for him.
After VPN Server installation, I created a Virtual Hub and added two test users to this hub.
I successfully connected one of my test user through the SE VPN Client Manager to the server.
These are the basic settings that I thought would satisfy the needs of my task for SoftEther (solving static IP issue with D-DNS).
But when I'm trying to ping my global IP or DNS hostname from the connected user's PC, I'm getting a "Request timed out" message.
I use the VPN Server global IP and DNS hostname provided by the SE Dynamic DNS function, which are shown in the SE VPN Server Manager in the D-DNS Settings page.
Any Idea how to make this work?
