Dear pal, I'm working with OpenVPN in client mode.
Is normal or wrong?
Regards from Chile.

Are you saying you can’t DMZ when using openvpn as a client or server?

The DMZ rule was only designed to work over WAN.
I'm not really sure a DMZ makes much sense over a VPN to begin with?

In either case, you would need to write your own iptables rules sorry.

First, thanks for your reply..
About the "sense": I've created VPN 'cause the mobile Internet doesn't allow to open ports since that service only provides IP private (not bridge mode). My intention is show my CWP Server (only in case of emergency for Optical fiber fail) to the network .
As aditional note, OpenVPN is pointed to an own SoftEther Server in remote location.
Question: Modifying iptables rules could I fix my problem?
Regards from Chile.

The rules Gargoyle uses to create the DMZ are as follows:
Code: Select all
iptables -t nat -A "zone_"$from"_prerouting" -i $from_if -j DNAT --to-destination $to_ip
iptables -t filter -I "zone_"$from"_forward" -d $to_ip -j ACCEPT
Where
$from = wan
$from_if = wan
$to_ip = The IP you specify
Code Here
You would need to change:
$from = vpn
$from_if = tun0
$to_ip = The VPN IP of the device you want to DMZ
This is purely a guess, not a supported configuration, and something you would need to explore and troubleshoot on your own sorry. It isn't something the forum can really assist you with.
I don't think it will work, as you'll redirect VPN packets away from the openvpn process and hence the tunnel will die. But i might be wrong.
Individual port forwarding would be MUCH better/safer. Unfortunately the Gargoyle port forwarding has the same limitation, so again you'd need to write your own iptables rules.

I know.. It's pure assumption but it would help me a lot if this solved the problem.
Thanks once again. I will try it tomorrow and I will comment to you.
Regards from Chile.

I was just looking at this today for a problem I had
I wanted
LAN >> VPN
But I saw it was only
WAN >> LAN
No matter

Quick clarification, I'd like to configure my gargoyle v1.12 to connect to Surfshark VPN. Is this still not supported?

Not on 1.12 if they require a username and password.

Unfortunately a username/password are required for surfshark. Is it working in 1.14?

Username and password is supported. I’m not aware of anyone trying surfshark specifically but it should be fine.
