Title: Limiting VPN incoming to a single IP
Post by: Librarian on October 02, 2006, 01:51:23 PM

Hi there

Is it possible to limit incoming VPN connections so that they're bound to one IP (static IP) adress only?

What I mean is, suppose my IP is 12.34.56.78 and I set up VPN to only accept incoming connections originating from 12.34.56.78 then it will accept those incoming connections. Should somebody try to connect from 56.78.90.12 (or something different than 12.34.56.78 ) then his connection will be rejected. (preferably routed to /dev/null  :twisted: )

Also, is this setup also possible with a dynamic IP - if I make use of dyndns.org as a service?

Regards

Libs

You may want to concider OpenVPN. It would require anywone trying to access your server ot have the matching ssh key.
