Connect clients with their own WIFI

Post by germanvallverdu » Fri Feb 25, 2022 6:23 pm

Connect clients with their own WIFI
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to configure the clients within the VPN so that they connect to the internet through their own WIFI connection and only to the VPN server, to access files on the server.
So if they use any internet browser, each client uses their connection to surf the internet and not the VPN server connection.
And that the VPN server only works as a file server.
If the clients or the server can be configured so that the VPN works like this and does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks

Hi, yes it is possible:

- on the server remove a bridge (if any) and enable SecureNAT with all defaults
- in SecureNAT's VDHCP remove the default gateway and DNS
- in SecureNAT edit static routes and enter your server's destination

As for clients, assuming Windows/SMB/Samba file server environment, refer to "Client PC unable to reach shared directory on Server PC" thread for info on file share access method.
