Port-forwarding on your router isn't working because the packets from Internet never reach your router to begin with; for the same reason, any service hosted directly on the router will not work either. | |
| Sep 17, 2023 at 12:23 | comment | added | Faptimus420 | @u1686_grawity Thanks, I was worried about that. The thing is, my router does actually support hosting an OpenVPN server, and I tried experimenting with it in the past, but I never got it to work, and I suspect it's for the same reason? I use TAP as the interface type (since I want clients to access the LAN), port 1025, tried with both TCP and UDP, various encryption protocols, TLS certificate-based auth, but when I then try to connect using an OpenVPN client with the router-generated certificate on a remote device, I get "TCP: connect to[AF_INET]100.100.xxx.xx:1025 failed: Unknown error" | |
