[Openvpn-users] Can a remote device connect to an NFS share on the OVPN server?
I am trying to track down a strange NFS connection problem that surfaced today... I have two LAN's, one at home using 192.168.119.0/24 and another in a remote location using 192.168.117.0/24. On my home LAN I have an Ubuntu 20.04.3 Server which is the OpenVPN server as well as a file store served out via NFS. The connection between the two LAN is by way of OpenVPN where the client is the remote LAN ASUS router and the server is the Ubuntu server on the home LAN. In order to have bidirectional access I have set up the client connection with a ccd where there is a routing directive to allow reverse communication from the home LAN devices to the remote LAN. It looks like this: iroute 192.168.117.0 255.255.255.0 And to make that happen there is also a static route added to the home LAN router which routes traffic towards the remote LAN IP addresses through the OpenVPN server: Network IPNetmask Gateway Metric Interface 192.168.117.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.119.216 2 LAN This worked amazingly well when I deployed it yesterday, I can access the devices on the other LAN from any device on any of the two networks. But while testing today I found that an Ubuntu machine that was sitting on the home LAN for a considerable time and was using an NFS share to the file store on the OpenVPN server now cannot connect to that NFS share anymore after it moed to the remote LAN. If I make a manual mount attempt this is what happens: sudo mount 192.168.119.216:/home/bosse/www/VIDEO /mnt/video mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.119.216:/home/bosse/www/video But if I try to mount another NFS share on the home LAN from that Ubuntu machine it works instantly! That is to an NFS share on a Synology NAS on my home LAN. This proves that it should be possible to connect also the wanted share on the OVPN server, but no matter what I tried today it does not happen. So now I have to ask here if there is a limitation that the OVPN server handling the tunnel between the two networks cannot also be an NFS server reachable from a LAN connecting in via VPN??? All of the devices on my home LAN can use the NFS share fully but none on the remote LAN...
