Can't access my NGINX server through my VPN.

Heya @sergerobitaille,

My first guess would be checking your Firewall and that is blocking your requests. Look for any rules that might be dropping or rejecting traffic on ports used by NGINX (typically 80 and 443).

VPN Configuration: Review your OpenVPN server configuration. Ensure that it is not configured to route all traffic through the VPN, which could change how incoming connections are handled. You might have a push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" setting in your OpenVPN server config file that needs attention.

: Make sure that NGINX is set up to listen on all interfaces or specifically on the public interface (eth0). Check your NGINX config file (nginx.conf and associated site configuration files in /etc/nginx/sites-available/):

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name _; # or your public domain/IP
    ...
}

Connectivity Tests: Perform connectivity tests from both inside and outside your VPN. Check if the NGINX server is accessible from the local network, from the VPN, and from the public internet:

curl http://localhost:80
curl http://10.20.0.5:80  # Using your private IP
