Connecting to other services on the SofEther system
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2021 3:00 pm
I have SoftEther set up on my Netgear NAS box with L2TP passed through my router. SoftEther is configured to bridge to my first ethernet card on the NAS box.
External L2TP clients on the internet can successfully connect to SoftEther and I can see and connect to all connected other devices on my LAN. I cannot, however, see the NAS box that SoftEther is running on. Whist I can ping any other device on my LAN, if I try and ping the I.P. address of the NAS box itself I get no response. I have even tried adding in the second NIC from the box to the LAN. Other devices on the LAN can then ping this NIC as well as the first, but not a VPN client.
I am assuming this is some sort of config issue. I have poked around a bit but have failed to make any impact. Can anyone suggest what needs doing, either in the SoftEther config, or adding some routing in the NAS box itself (I have SSH access)?
