Anything you can provide, it's not clear to the rest of us how many |
| 17 |
computers are involved. Is the web/mail server only the gatway, or is |
| 18 |
that the workstation that you're using (when, for example, trying to |
| 19 |
access the website)? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
What IP address are you using to access the web server? Its internal |
| 22 |
one, or its external one? Is the website supposed to be visible externally? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
It might also help to know which routes are set up by the VPN. Once |
| 25 |
you've connected to an OpenVPN server, it usually pushes a bunch of |
| 26 |
routes to the client (so that the client knows how to route to the VPN |
| 27 |
without caring about the details). A `sudo route -n` or `sudo ip route |
| 28 |
show` should suffice once we know which IPs belong to whom. |
