Title: Connection to a second remote site via VPN
Post by: mircot80 on May 10, 2023, 04:42:15 AM
Hello.
I have a question about a VPN connection.
I have a router1 FritzBox 7590 with static public ip and LAN 192.168.0.0/24 .
Then I have a router2 FritzBox 7590 with dynamic natted ip and LAN 192.168.188.0/24 .
Between the 2 routers I configured an ipsec VPN and it works fine.
From an external notebook LAN 192.168.1.0/24 I connect via a wireguard vpn to router1 and I can connect to the 192.168.0.0/24 network but not to the 192.168.188.0/24 network.
Is there any configuration I can do to make it work?
Thank you.

I'm an idiot.

In Wireguard I had not added 192.168.188.0/24 in AllowedIPs in the client.

Often, I find it helps just to logically step through the notions with the intent to create a post asking for help. But the fact that I've needed to think about it again from start to end to allow me to create the post often triggers me to find the solution as well.

Glad you got it sorted :)

More than once, I've started a detailed description of a problem as I'm about to open a support ticket and then, knowing that support will ask me certain questions, I go to get that info and then... oops... looks like I missed a step, there... :D

Absolutely no shame in getting the answer yourself because you asked the question out loud.

Got to get a rubber duck to put on your desk. Mine solves so many issues he probably should get a raise.

I love that! And those inanimate objects have infinite capacity to listen without judging.
