Seeking advice/best practice - VPN and Re-IP'ing EVE MGMT

Post by froobage » Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:10 pm

Hi All,

Not really sure where this query goes...

Essentially at home i've got a flat network, just the ISP provided router ( I know, I know.. ;) ) with a 192.168.1.x LAN, from there I have an esxi server running EVE-NG bridged using the mgmt vswitch. Initially I was going to port forward https directly to EVE for remote connectivity (Only have anyconnect available and can't install software on the corporate laptop), but I decided it's probably not the best move. Then I was considering setting up a firewall (Checkpoint) on the esxi server for a webvpn as I don't believe the throughput is restricted *Or the requirement to purchase a VPN licence (outside being 192.168.1.x and inside being 10.1.1.x), create a secondary vswitch for the inside and move EVE-NG onto there, but if I move EVE, is it just a case of issuing the "rm -f /opt/ovf/.configured" followed by "su -" to run through the MGMT IP process again? Or would I need to update any other interfaces..

Also I guess just looking for some advice from some networking professionals on best practice to achieve remote connectivity using clientless VPN. Would the above suffice?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Froob

I would advice look at this scenario:
DDNS to your EVE VM...
Check my home esxi setup for remote EVE access...
