Hi all,
I'm trying to setup OS X Server so that I can connect via a VPN while I'm on the road and effectively bounce all of my traffic through my cable modem at home. The structure of my network is:
internet<-->Airport Extreme<-->192.168.1.xxx network (including the OS X Server machine)
During the Server installation, I provided the password to my Airport Extreme believing that it would be configured automatically to accept incoming connections on the VPN ports and send them to the Server machine.
However, I ran a Shields-up scan on my external IP and didn't see any ports listed as 'open'. When I open the Airport Utility, I don't see any ports forwarded either.
I have enabled L2TP, given a starting and ending range in the 192.168.1.xx space. In Client Information, I supplied DNS servers and added a "private" route for 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0.
Is there something I need to do differently to make it configure my Airport to forward VPN packets to itself? I know I can enter the ports manually in the Airport, but one of OS X Server's selling points is that it will configure the Airport for you, and I'd rather use that.
Thanks,
Mike
