VPN and Networking

This isn't necessarily programming related, but I have a feeling like you guys would know how to help me.

I have a very frustrating situation on my hands. I have a local network set up with a freenas server on .250. This is where all of my work documents are. I set up a VPN on my router, and forwarded ports 21,20,80 to .250(:21,20,80) and 8080 to .250:80. Here's where it gets confusing and frustrating: I can connect to the VPN, access the router page, and access my server gui from .250... on 3g, from my phone. In a browser on WiFi, I can connect to my router home page, but not my server.

This is inhibiting. I've been trying to figure this out, and going everywhere for help, for the past week. Can anyone here shed some light?

Post your server's iptables.

No, don't do that.

Would that expose me to vulnerabilities? Just as well, navigating around this server gui on this tiny phone screen is not super fun.

First, you're a douchebag dipshit for using FTP for external file transfers and not SCP.  You're a fucking moronic bastard.

Also, if you want me to try to solve your stupid problem, can you tell if me the Wifi is your local, in home Wifi, or wifi from an external place.  If it's in your house, your server is still listening on 8080, but OUTSIDE of your GODDAMN network, THAT is when you'll have to use 80.  Your 3g phone is OUTSIDE of your network unless it's on Wifi.

You're a motherfucking herpes ridden pus-filled cunt for not realizing that FreeNAS relies on BSD and not Linux.  BSD uses pf, not iptables, you fucking lardassed shithead.

>can you tell if me the Wifi is your local, in home Wifi, or wifi from an external place
I've been using the neighbors WiFi to test how this works from outside the network. I can connect just fine from inside the network.

Well, is your router's management page possibly interfering with your use of port 80 externally? 

Also, you mention use of a VPN?  If the VPN is up, you should be able to enter the private address of the server, on port 8080, once the VPN is up.  Did you do this? 

Why are you using a VPN and using port forwarding.  WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO???

>WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO???

Alright, gleaned from this post that I don't need port forwarding /and/ vpn, so I cleared all my port forwards.

Scenario is still the same, here is what I want to happen, and what I've been trying:
>be on external public WiFi
>start vpn
>open safari
>192.168.1.1
>router page comes up (this happens)
>cool awesome! let's go to the NAS now!
>type in 192.168.1.250
>have FreeNAS log in page pop up (this does not happen)
>run command: "mount -t smbfs //admin@192.168.1.250/Freenas/Admin /Users/Admin/Admin_nas/"
>cool, all my files! (this does not happen either)

>>8
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU QUOTING???

Ur mums cock!

Update: turned out to be a subnet mask conflict. Changed local IP, and everything works. Thanks for the help, guys

I know from practice it is seldom possible to explain anything to a non-geek person, falling under one of the following cases:

- The person has been enculturated as a consumer. Such people choose ignorance because understanding would carry social stigma. When such people ask for help, they mean "do it for me, menial person". When was the last time the person asking you to "fix" a computer offered to mow your lawn or make your dinner in return?
- The person's educational background is poor. If capable of the necessary mental gymnastics, such a person will often self-bootstrap and not need you.
- The cultural gap is too large and the mental symbols are too different. My father is a marvel with things mechanical yet utterly fails to apprehend software abstractions and metaphors.
- The person is too lazy, stupid or selfish to think.

Any explanation I provide is unlikely to mean anything to someone who thinks the pinnacle of technical sophistication is knowing how to connect an Xbox to a TV.
