Hello,
some days ago I installed the Softether VPN Server on my raspberry pi which is running Raspbian. I want to use VPN Server for remote access into the lan at home.
I connect usually with 2 devices, one is my android smartphone and the second a thinkpad with Windows 7.
Both connect with password authorization via l2tp/ipsec.
I use dyndns due to variable ip and ports 443, 500, 1701 and 4500 are forwarded to the raspberry pi.
I use local bridge to the physical ethernet port of the pi.
Remote connection to the VPN works fine. I can surf through the internet and reach the local devices in the lan (e.g. lan-printer or computers).
All devices into my lan have 192.168.1.0/24 adresses and the devices connected via VPN also get 192.168.1.0/24 from the DHCP of my router.
PROBLEM: I can't connect/ping to the raspberry pi itself.
SecureNat ist turned off, it causes heavy load on the raspberry and didn't fix my problem. (Maybe due to wrong configuration?)
Cannot connect the the VPN-Server

Re: Cannot connect the the VPN-Server
Thank you for the answer.
I read 3.6.11. The soluation for me problem is to use 2 networkadapters?!
That's not possible with the raspberry pi.
Could I use a tap-adapter instead?

With a usb ethernet/wifi adapter it should work...but yes, not very smart.

In combination with iptables, there should be possibilities. But never tried, so I can't help. Maybe a simple additional ssh-connection is enought?
