As I understand VPN and NAT (it) are different things.We use vpnc from linux to
some other network. It is different. My client gets IP from that foreign
netowrk and works like being hardwired into another network. That is VPN. No
NAT forwarding needed.
Here, my home PC gets connetcted to office

what is "it"? Both of what?
Network administration can be quite complicated and is beyond the scope of
this *mailing list*. From what I remember f
Obviously it is both. For outgoing calls from client, packets get wrapped (web
client IP), for incoming packets it works as a part of another network
192.168.55. Go figure. :) Seems that this IP forwarding is one layer to many.

Yes, it is strange and useless. I use Windows VPN which connects to VPN server
on Synology network disk box on office network.
I was surprised myself to see this. And this is what happens.
It may have something to do with our setup, because we set up a tunnel first to

What kind of VPN does that? If it is OpenVPN and you are usi
Indeed. Client is connected via VPN, so web browser shows IP of the gateway
instead of the client.
client IP: 192.168.55.1
browser (web client) IP: 192.168.0.225 (vpn server).

Usually it is the other way around - that is, manually connecting to

Finally!
It started once I've put IP into ClientNameAlias and I hardcoded the smbclient
command.
At least.
Thanks for your help.

But, then, if I set IP as a hostname, smbclient fails. Command
/usr/bin/smbclient 192.168.55.1\\C -U zdravko -E -d 1
says
session request to 192.168.55.1 failed (Called name not present)
But even if it worked, another PC at this IP (as it is dhcp) would overwrite
backup.
huh! It seems to be
The easy way is to name the host (in BackupPC) with the IP Address.
Otherwise, use the ClientNameAlias.

I am not sure I understand this but it doesn't work in my configuration. Server

I don't see a way to configure this IP into bakupPC.

For my VPN clients that need backups, I assign a static address to the VPN

If your client is NAT'ed behind the gateway, then you'll have to expose it

Yes. It can find dhcp laptop on its own. Only when backup is requested manualy
it does nothing.
Actually, I would like to allow manual backups only, since I don't want backup

Another thing is on VPN. It finds gateway IP (tun
Can the BackupPC server resolve an IP address for the client? Can you
manually run the $nmblookup commands for that specific client, and verify
that it is correct?
