SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi!

I have a linux server which hosts three virtual machines. This virtual machines have a static ip address in the 10.0.0.x range. I need to connect my clients over vpn so that they can see this virtual servers, and that the virtual servers can see them.

So far I was able with SecureNAT to see the servers from the clients, but I can't see the clients from the server. I also configured split tunneling to use the local neetwork to go to the internet. The split tunneling is also working fine.

I think, that I have an understanding problem and a misconfiguration. Maybe someone can give me the right hint?

Thanks,
Christian.

If VM and VPN server is on same host, please use user mode NAT.
And, I think 0.0.0.x is not valid IP address.

hi thisjun!

yes, you are right, 0.0.0.x is not a valid ip. It was a typo. correct is 10.0.0.x. i corrected it also in the original posting.

how can i do user mode nat? i can't find anything in the configuration called 'user mode nat'.

at the moment i use securenat. it was very easy to do. but if i change the ip-addresses in the securenat-configuration it doesn't work anymore.

thanks,

Set "DisableKernelModeSecureNAT" in Virtual Hub Extended Option List.

hi thisjun,

sorry for the delay... i found the option. it is disabled. the description i found was not very helpful.

which value should i set instead of the 0? and what exactly is this option doing?

thanks,
christian.

Please set the value to "1".

Kernelmode NAT uses built-in TCP/IP stack and localbridge.
Usermode NAT uses TCP/IP stack of OS.

Client can't communicate with VPN server itself due to Linux limitation with kernelmode NAT.

hi thisjun,

i changed the configuration like you described, but there is no change. the virtual servers are still not able to see (ping) the connected clients, but the clients can connect and see the servers.

is the ip-adress range also important? do i need to use the same ip-address range on the clients? by devault they are getting somthing like 192.168.30.*

thanks,
christian.

If you use a SoftEther VPN server later build 9582, please disable raw IP mode NAT by "DisableIpRawModeSecureNAT" in Virtual Hub Extended Option.
