We have a Cisco 877W ADSL router with NAT enabled. The ISP does not allow us to change or even look at the settings. Now obviously double natting will be performed. To get the RoadWarrior VPN going, will the solution be as simple just op open port 1194 on the Cisco router and disabling NAT? How will the Red interface be configured, with the private or public IP address? I want to install a new IPCOP box with Open VPN in our network-. We have a Cisco 877W ADSL router with NAT enabled.

I dont know if there is a line of code missing in the most rescent version, but there is no NAT or PROXY options available in the GUI. I have tried appending rules within iptables, but nothing I do seems to make it able to see the Green network. Any ideas? I am starting to pull my hair out.

I get to the last steps and am able to connect the client to the vpn server, but I am not able to see anyting but the virtual subnet that openVPN created.

I dont know if there is a line of code missing in the most rescent version, but there is no NAT or PROXY options available in the GUI.

I have tried appending rules within iptables, but nothing I do seems to make it able to see the Green network.

Any ideas? I am starting to pull my hair out.

After that, it is just a matter of following the on screen instructions. After install, IPCop will allow full configuration from a web-based GUI, show you metrics on Internet usage, stability and security that make the paranoid proud, drop-dead simple upgrades, Intrusion Detection, DHCP, DNS, DMZ, Port Forwarding, NAT, separate WiFi network for your in church coffee shop (with additional NIC) and other fun things. Some VPN capability is also built-in, but for the road-warrior style VPN usage that most ministries use, I’d recommend an OpenVPN plugin as an alternative that is much easier to maintain on the client side.
