Let's say I have a host with a static ip address 9.9.9.9. I start up an
openvpn client on it (which works fine). But I want to be able to connect
to the host externally by doing an ssh to 9.9.9.9. I can't figure out how
to do this. Furthermore, starting an openvpn client session interrupts
existing connections to 9.9.9.9.
What's interesting is that if the host has a dynamic address assigned by
dhcp, say to 9.9.9.8 (same subnet as the static ip), I CAN ssh to it with
ssh user@9.9.9.8, and existing connections are not interrupted. Changing
this to a static ip breaks this. I am not modifying any of the client
openvpn configurations, just how the host running the openvpn client gets
an ip address.
I have full control of both the client, and the openvpn server.
Can anyone offer guidance on how to proceed?
thanks in advance, Roy.
