FVS318N SSL VPN Port Forwarding
Hi,
I'm trying to setup secure access to a service that is running on my internal network, specifically on server with internal IP 192.168.0.102 listening on port 3306. I believe Port Forwarding is what I would use as I only need access to this one service and not the entire internal network so SSL-VPN would be overkill.
I've tested that I can connect to the service just fine using an Inbound Service. Of course, this isn't secure so the port is always open.
Under VPN->SSL VPN->Port Forwarding I've added local server IP address 192.168.0.102 and TCP Port Number 3306.
From an external client, I then login to the User Portal with an SSL user and Connect using Port Forwarding. I now have Netgear-SSLVPN-PortForwarding application running in my taskbar of my external client.
At this point I can't figure out how to connect to my service. Using the Inbound Service I would just connect to the public IP address, but this isn't working.
I could use a little direction here on what I'm missing.
Thanks,
Brandon

- Also, I'm on firmware 4.3.0-19
- You do not use public IP to access devices behind the SSL-VPN
That defeats of using SSL-VPN. You tread like you would in local LAN by using private IP 192.x
Also SSL-VPN setting the router will have port forwarding within and not inbound rules in the router as well - OK, I got it working. It was an issue with the two seperate LANs using the same IP address range. I changed one to a non-obvious range it now it works.
