Hi All,
This one has been breaking my head for a few days now so I thought I'd look to the forum for help.
Objective - Connect to a remote ubuntu server via SSH and then connect to a VPN server without breaking the SSH connection.
One of the elements I'm finding most bizarre is that after setting up a VPN server I'm able to log onto the VPN server from my local desktop running Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop, but only when I connect via network tools in the GUI settings by importing the config file. When I attempt this from the terminal however the load sequence completes however it kills my internet connection. I thought if I could test that I could successfully connect to the VPN Server from the command line on my local machine then I should also be able to connect from a remote server via SSH (but conscious that there are other initial steps to take on the remote server that are required to reroute the packets so that the SSH connection isn't broken upon connection).
My download speeds are so much faster from my remote server and if content could be downloaded directly onto the server it saves having to FTP content from local machine to remote server, but finding a way to connect the remote server to a VPN is a real pain in the arse. Anyone had any luck with this?
Cheers,
