![]() ![]() In the case of the original posting and the question here, the user can configure VPN clients and VPN into the local network via a VPN server in the firewall (as available), or into the VPN server present in OS X Server - this using the static IP address that's available to this user. (If a user really needs security or privacy, then Tor and a VPN client booted from an trusted distribution such as Tails would be a typical recommendation.) This in addition to the obvious risks that arise when the cloud-based VPN server can identify the connection source via its IP address. I'm somewhat surprised that security and freedom are cited in conjunction with a cloud-based VPN service, as cloud-based VPN services are almost inherently vulnerable to a party that might choose to eavesdrop on the traffic traversing the cloud-based servers - that traffic can be in cleartext while it traverses the VPN server, too. ![]() a static IP address is available, so there's little need here to route network traffic through a third-party cloud-based VPN service. Then click the X that appears on the left upper corner of IceFloor 2.0.2 to perform the uninstall. Click and hold IceFloor 2.0.2 icon with your mouse button until it starts to wiggle. ![]() Open up Launchpad, and type IceFloor 2.0.2 in the search box on the top. My ISP gave me a static bublic IP address. Option 2: Delete IceFloor 2.0.2 in the Launchpad. You need a Static IP address if you are the center of internet activity. That also avoids dependencies on an internal host you're much closer to "being" another host on the internal network. There are various cases where you can't refer to the local host by its canonical IP address as a NIC inherently can't chat with itself on an Ethernet network.įWIW and for smaller networks, I also usually prefer to terminate the VPN connections at the gateway firewall, as it avoids running the VPN through NAT. If the host you're terminating your VPN on is at the internal address 10.0.0.1, then it's common to use 127.0.0.1 (IP for localhost self) to address it. The VLAN is a network switch-level construct, and handy for partitioning internal traffic for various reasons including security and load. This is based on the capabilities of the gateway firewall. I have public IP mapped to private IP at the gateway firewall different IP addresses are mapped to the same or to different internal (NAT'd) IP addresses. ![]()
