Hello all,
I am switching from domoticz to homeassisant and really like most of its advanced features
However I seem to hit one issue which I tried to figure out for a while now
I have an ubiquiti USG router which I use to create a VPN for my laptop (when I’m at work) to connect to my home network.
This VPN works well, I can access all devices in my home network (I have other raspberry’s running as well)
However I cannot access my homeassistant installation, which is installed on hass.io on a rpi3
I tried the IP adress for the frontend and for ssh, both don’t seem to work. I can’t even ping the IP adress
(to clarify, this works perfectly fine from home, just not when I use the VPN)
When I connect to another raspberry using ssh (as a stepping stone), I can ping and ssh to the hassio node just fine. I also tried to set-up a reverse proxy as a workaround on this raspberry, pointing to my hassio node, but the interface asks for a password (and setting a password in the configuration.yaml still doesn’t seem to work)
some technical information:
-my home network runs on 10.0.1.0/24, USG is the router at 10.0.1.1 and hassio is set to 10.0.1.119 (fixed ip)
-the unifi router (unifi USG) provides ‘Remote user VPN (l2tp)’ service, which works for all nodes except hass.io
-the VPN network is on 172.17.100.1/24, using 172.17.100.1 and 10.0.1.1 as name servers
-the laptop runs on Linux Mint 18.3 (but I doubt that matters)
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that I can’t even ping the hassio node using the plain IP adress, but the VPN work fine on all other nodes in my home network
