Cannot VPN to Website

avatar

Hi there,

i want to create a Website-Connection using VPN.
I create a new entry "Website", enter my URL "HTTPS://127.0.0.1" and under VPN/SSH/Gateway I use the same settings as in my RDP Connections:
general:
open - always connect
closing - close after session
Type - SSH

Credentials:
repository - my ssh credentials

under settings:

Host: my-firewall.com - Port 224 (that's where SSH is accepted)
Local address 127.0.0.1 - use dynamic port
Remote host 192.168.xxx.xxx - remote port 10000
--
when I try to launch the connection I get: "the VPN-Connection couldn't be opened. Do you like to continue"

What am I doing wrong?

Thx!

Could you create an independent SSH entry to test the connection? Just verify if you get an error message in the log console.

Which SSH should I use for your test?
Inside the connection I can only select "Type: SSH"
When I try to crate a new entry there's:
SSH Port Fortward
SSH SHell
SSH Tunnel
SSH Shell (Rebes)
SSH Tunne (Rebex)
or Putty (Telnet, SSH, RAW, rLogin)

Once again: the same settings work perfekt with an RDP Connection

SSH Tunnel will use the same engine. Just to be sure you get the error but does the VPN has opened correctly?

a single SSH connection works like a charm.

Ok,
Does the web connection connect if you open the VPN manually before? I want to verify if the connection is the problem or if the application does not detect the opened connection.

I can't start the connection out of the "WebSite-entry"
If I choose:
rightclick - open with parameters - VPN - connect VPN (translated from german - titles may vary :) )
nothing happens!
When I do the same with a working RDP Connection I see the VPN connect correctly

It's not what I mean. Open you SSH independent entry and disable the VPN from the web entry. Open this entry after that. The other solution will be to send me an export of your entry if it's possible to access it from the outside.

the following works:
As you said, I removed the VPN settings from the web entry and added a specified port: https://127.0.0.1:18315
In the VPN entry, I forward local address 127.0.0.1 port 18315 to the remote host 192.168.140.10 port 10000

I just wonder why the web entry doesn't even start a SSH connection

Could you export me this we entry will a fake url and username password? I will take a look at it. You can send me a private message.
