Re: [PLUG] Drive mapping on Endian Firewall VPN

["Lee H. Marzke" <lee@marzke.net>]

By default the extra VPN firewall is not enabled, so all internal (GREEN zone)
should be available.  If you setup DNS aliases for your internal host
they should also resolve over the VPN.    You might have to set the VPN config
to push the DNS server IP to the client.

I haven't used the Windows OVPN client much, but if it connects
over OVPN, you should be same as internal client.   Can the same external
box mount the drive when connected internally ?

1. can you ping from external to internal machine.
2. Is the drive your mapping shared ?
3. are win machines both in the same "workgroup" ?
4. Make new drive mapping with IP address,  select "connect as a different
user,  and then use the proper credentials for the internal machine.

I've used Endian for years,  but have just switched to pfSense beta
which supports IPv6.
