VPN... Doubt about IP address.


hi all,

i new vpn`s. have not taken 70-291 yet... still meek studying of vpn.

my question is: using w2k3 vpn server.. should 1 of interface have public ip ? or 1 of them can behind of nat ?

currently server runs internal application ip 10.0.0.1. able log on remotly using vpn tunnel.

the other interface has 192.168.0.1/30 ip. make /28 or whatever necessary start using vpn.

thanks

   should work either way. can check vpn setup works connecting locally (ie workstation on private lan) using the server's lan ip.

    connect remote computer can use "public" ip of vpn server. depends on remote computer is. if on different local network, can connect "public" ip machine can reach ip address.

   if client computer can reach vpn server through internet, public nic need have registered public ip reachable client machine. if vpn server behind router, can connect public ip of router , configure router extend connection server on lan. (but in case, there no need vpn server have 2 nics in first place).
