Hi All
I am testing the VPN functionality and have run into an issue.
I have set up the VPN and that's connecting fine.
But when trying to "Connect Automatically", I add a test range 192.168.0.0/24 and then try to go to a URL on a server that hosts a website I want to access, it wont connect.
That makes sense because the phone (being on the internet) wont be able to do a DNS lookup for the internal URL and wont get an RFC 1918 address (lets say for the sake of argument 192.168.0.20).
So I know why its not working, but I cant see how this will ever work for anyone.
Wouldn't a better solution be to base the "Connect Automatically" on a URL with a wild card? Something like *.my-network.local
Anyone have any thoughts?
