IIS8 behind a VPN + Windows Server 2012 - how to properly bind IP+Port
- by ryugen
This is my first question so I hope I'm going to give you enough information.
I'm running Windows Server 2012 within the Hyper-V environment of my Windows 8 machine. Within Windows Server 2012 I'm running a VPN tool based on openVPN to hide my real IP. When I run IIS8 with the VPN disconnected it works flawlessly through the Internet (port 80 forwarded correctly). But as soon as I connect to the VPN I can't reach my site through the domain anymore.
Now I tried basically everything I know which is why I'm asking you guys. I tried binding IIS8 to the IP of my virtual ethernet card. I tried changing the priority of the NIC through the "Network and sharing center" via the advanced tab. I used ipconfig /flushdns in case there was something wrong in the DNS handling. Hell, I even turned off the Windows firewall.
I also used a port scanner to verify the problem. The webserver is reachable on port 80 with VPN disconnected and immediately gets unreachable on connect.
Theoretically both IPs (my regular one AND the VPN) should be reachable or at least not impair the other one right?
Do you have any other suggestion? Do I have to route something somewhere somehow?
