Hi, I've tried googling to see if I could find anyone that discuss this
before, but without success. I'm not sure if I google with the wrong
words, or I'm just not looking hard enough.
Any how, my problem is that I'm using iptables on my gateway box to do
SNAT, and when I connect to a company's VPN the first connection is fine.
But all the other fail. When I say fail, I mean they get the initial
connection but fail to setup the connection it seems.
My network setup is this:
LAN ---------> Iptables/GW ------> Router ------> INET -----> VPN Server
(192.168.1.0) SNAT NO NAT
Now I just want to confirm that its not iptables that's having the
problems before I start blaming the people setting up the VPN Server.
The one way right now that we get more than 1 connection to the VPN Server
is to by pass the Iptables/GW.
Host1 ---------> Iptables/GW ------> Router ------> INET -----> VPN Server
(192.168.1.10) SNAT NO NAT
^
|
Host2 ---------------------------------|
(INET IP different from the one Iptables/GW uses)
This is how we are able to get 2 connections to the VPN Server, now the
people that setup the VPN Server claim that there aren't any limits like 1
connection per IP or anything like that, I'm also wondering, if you ever
could make more than 1 connection to a VPN Server from the same IP. I'm
not very familiar with VPNs.
Any information would be apprciated.
