Background:
- Using a wireless provider in Canada (xplorenet). Overall, xplorenet internet facing IP, then is NAT't to the CPE7000 wireless (on top of my roof), then NAT't to USG20 (home network)
- Xplorenet wireless hardware (CPE7000 wireless) obtains a private IP from their network (10.192.175.x subnet), this is my CPE7000 WAN IP.
- DHCP enabled on the CPE7000 and I populated only 1 IP for lease (192.168.2.1)
- Usg20 obtains IP of 192.168.2.1 from xplorenet CPE7000 wireless, and USG20 is DHCP server for my local LAN
- Tried bridge and tunnel mode on the CPE7000, but CPE7000 WAN port would not obtain a IP address.
- CPE7000 WAN ip is not static and internet facing IP from xplorenet is unknown to be static. I am not to worried about this since I can update my VPN when IPs change (until xplorenet offers static IPs)
- Attempted to obtain a IPV6 IP from xplorenet, however no success.
Objective:
- From the USG20 I want to connect out to a cloud server VM housing an application like OpenVPN (I purchased a cloud VM)
- I can ping and access cloud VM from USG20, but of course not the other way. http://whatismyipaddress.com/ shows my external internet facing IP
Attempt #1:
Setup OpenVPN server on cloud VM, and have USG20 act as a client and connect up to cloud VM (OpenVPN) and provide the pipe via IPSec into my home network.
Problem I run into is the VPN key. Zywall does not import the key I generated from OpenVPN (format not supported).
Attempted to do a secret password key (on OpenVPN), however Zywall only supports may 32 characters, so a cut and paste of the openvpn key into usg20 did not work.
What I am looking for is suggestions on how I could set up a VPN using the usg20 as a client and having it connect out to the cloud VM to establish the pipe.
Cloud VPN software and OS is optional and not limited to OpenVPN
Suggestions, comments are VERY welcomed :-)
FYI, I only need to access 1 system on my local LAN from outside. Its for my security PVR so I can view my live feed when I am not home.
