Hello,

I'm very new to virtualization and linux environment.
I am trying to build VPN server(Softether/IPsec/OpenVPN) on a OpenVZ container that resides in a KVM host machine.
We've rent a KVM host from a company, installed Centos6.7 on it and successfuly installed latest OpenVZ kernel on it. We have only one public IP address with KVM host and planning to give private addresses to containers.
I successfully built a Veth container (Centos 6) via following guides from Openvz web pages.
I can reach out to internet from container. I installed VPN Server software on the container successfully .
But I am not able to connect to the VPN server with client.
I don't know if this scenario is logical and can be done. If you please give me some hint I really appreciate.
Thank you very much.

please give more details Smile

- your container vethernet network has an ip from a "private" networks like 10... , 192.168... , 172 ... ?
- how is the setup for access from container to wan/internet ?
- are you using a bridge or routed setup?
- iptables are running on hardware node and container?
- which guide is used?
...

bye Thorsten

Hello Mr. Thorsten,
Sorry for late response,
Finally, We successfully built up the VPN tunnel. The trick was open up UDP 500 and 4500 ports on the Firewall.
I will most probably turn back again to this Forum with some other things...
Thank you very much.
