Turns out my previous issue occurred because of a storm system passing over the city. It disrupted all connections in the city, and NeoRouter worked great in spite of it.

I have a different issue now. NeoRouter is set up over port 443 since my company will permit the VPN but only over previously allowed ports. I have also configured a webmail service which requires this port. Any other port, and the company will not allow it.

I noticed OpenVPN has an option on linux systems for "listening" on the port. It will intercept OpenVPN packets and forward non-OpenVPN packets to a specified server. It effectively shares the port with the other server, such as a secure web server.

Please forgive my ignorance, but is such a configuration possible with NeoRouter? Or will this need to be a new feature request? Thanks.

Hi tachycore,

Thanks for your input. I guess you mean the openvpn "port-share" option.

Quote:
--port-share host port
When run in TCP server mode, share the OpenVPN port with another application, such as an HTTPS server. If OpenVPN senses a connection to its port which is using a non-OpenVPN protocol, it will proxy the connection to the server at host:port.


So far, NeoRouter does not support it, but we will evaluate the feature.

The basic idea of the option is "proxy connection". For NeoRouter, you may want to either change NeoRouter to other ports, such as 80, 21 or use a proxy to access your webmail.

Thanks,
KevinZ - NeoRouter team
