I've read the website and i figured that vtun is for binding two networks
together. The problems that i have is that:
1. My FreeBSD internal system is not doing routing/nat, it has only one
interface with an RFC1918 IP on it. The router is an Allied Data 810.
2. My FreeBSD webserver doesn't have an inside interface, only an outside.
Neither of these points prevents you from using vtun. Nor does either of
them make it any more difficult to use, really. Actually, they're both
good reasons to use vtun.
Just set up your webserver as the vtun 'server' and the MySQL server as the
vtun 'client'. Make sure to use TCP (not UDP) and things will work just
fine.
hmm, ok, i'll give that a try.
I Hope this makes it a bit clearer, or you be able to tell me where i'm
wrong in this.
I'm not sure exactly _where_ you're wrong, but you are. It can be done,
quite easily in fact.
What about your setup makes you believe that vtun can't create the connection
you want?
that fact that all examples that i've seen are using NAT and linking
multiple networks. That's not what i'm trying to do.
Well, nat is definately not a requirement for a vtun, it's just that it's
such a common scenerio that it gets lots of howtos written about it.
And I would bet that (if you're using RFC-1918 addys as you say) that you
really _are_ using nat. It's just not FreeBSD that's doing it, it's probably
the router in your diagram that has built-in nat capabilities.
