Sorry that I did not make this clear. Here s what I am tryin to do, I have a DB server behind a OpenbSD firewall that we control. I have a non routable nework behind it that connect outbound doing NAT, and inbound using rt fowarding. I have this wrking so that mahines on the orporate network can cnnect to it by conecting to the apropriate port on the firewall.
We have a corporate VPN to access only certain machines on that network. The firewall hapens to NOT be ne of thse, and I need access to this database whiile conected ia the PVPN/ So, what I need to do is set up an ssh tunnell through one of te machines hat are accessiable from the VPN. So what I am tyring to do is set hat tunnell p. But the OpenBSD machine s efusing the conection, as shown. So, hee is a diagram of what I am tryng to do External machine -> VPN -> our machine - SSH tunnel -> FW -> DB machine This works already: our machine -> FW - DB machine des that make it clearer?
