|    OpenVPN UDP and NAT    |
|    13 Feb 04 14:28:26    |
      From: no@way.com              Hi              We have a network in a client site. One of the servers in that remote       network initiates a PPTP based dial in demand VPN back to us using       WIn2kRRAS.              The remote end needs to initiate because the client NAT's our VPN to their       public IP as it travels thru the gateway.              Our local end of the VPN is a public address, no NAT.              Now I want to replace this with openvpn but I am wondering if it will work       using UDP.              The remote end will get NAT'd as it sends packlets to our local public       openvpn server. But since its over UDP it seems I have to maintain a       connection going back the other way. But no port forwarding happens for       traffic going back in as its not our firewall at the remote end.              Can this scenario work?              thanks              P              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
