Connect to OpenVPN from same network
0
I just started messing around with OpenVPN using pivpn (https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn).
Everything works very well by now.
But, how can I test this network?
I tried connecting to it from within the same network, but I assume that does not work since you would try to connect to 'public IP' from that local IP?

I guess it should be enough to run server and client in different subnets, but with access to internet. For example, GSM modem and laptop connecting to office/home WiFi... But, it depends on your hardware and software setup though...

Also, if you can't connect to the VPN from the same over public IP; then it probably won't work from another network (GSM/Home/Work). Make sure port forwarding and firewall rules are set correctly.

Another way to test the VPN, is to connect from the same network over the VPN machine (I'm guessing this is a PI) IP first to make sure the VPN is up and listening on Globally. If so the move to the public bit; if not fix the VPN first.

I have a default router from my ISP and attached to that a TP Deco M5 and the VPN to the TP Deco M5. So which ports should be forwarded to the TP Deco M5?
