(and all I want it to do is connect securely to my webserver at e.g. The SoftEther VPN seems to act by default like a privacy VPN for streaming your internet from somewhere else (it of course can do far more than this), so it's a bit promiscuous and once activated will pull in any additional browsing. I THINK i have this now - so for anyone else reading. :-( )Īny anyone shed any light on this please? However the SecureNat dialog does have client routing rules it can push (- which I haven't been able to set correctly. The solution has to be on the server side, not the client (as clients could alter their setup, and it will be hard to get them to use anything other than just an ovpn link anyway). However if I remove this, then I don't have the knowledge to add in the extra routing to JUST allow access to the webserver. I think the issue is that the DNS gateway (as below from secureNAT) allows access not only to the webserver, but also EVERYTHING else on the web. If I disable (basic)NAT then I can't access the web server. I have activated SecureNAT - but i don't understand how to configure it. This is not what I intended, probably not secure, and will cost me (data throughput on AWS). I can access the webpage via VPN from windows, Mac & linux.īUT - when the vpn client is activated, ALL the traffic goes through the VPN.

I have successfully set-up SoftEther on my AWS free tier machine, and put a small apache2 instance on there.
