RS700 - passing L2TP traffic to internal server
[NOTE: I am preconfiguring an RS700 on my local LAN so I can send it to a remote family member. Hence, the "external" address of the RS700 is a private address (192.168.3.155); the LAN/internal addre...
I greatly appreciate the help everyone!
Following StephenB's comment about trying to forward Port 5000 (and 5001 for https administration), I neither worked. Doubtful that it would be a Netgear bug, I went down the path of starting from scratch with the network connectivity. The issue (please don't kill me) is that I had the Synology server connected (via ethernet) to both the 192.168.3.x and 192.168.10.x networks (multiple ethernet ports in the Synology). Once I disconnected the 192.168.3.x ethernet, everything worked as expected.
Thanks for your help! Apologies if this is a rookie mistake...
The RS700 router is the only router involved in this activity, so "One NAT" (not double)
Is there a log file on the Synology server?
Any specific reason to use L2TP rather than OpenVPN or PPTP?
I will look for the Synology logs.
The RS700 is replacing an R7800 that is working as desired (passing the L2TP traffic to the Synology).
I do need user-level access control to the VPN and it appears that the VPN capabilities of the RS700 don't provide that.
The L2TP might be replaced in the next 12 months, but the immediate need is to replace the R7800. I'd rather not replace the VPN technology at this time as that will require retraining technology challenged users.
