Server VPN Internet Routing

I configured a VPN using the Mountain Lion Server app from the App Store but I cannot get it to route internet traffic for the clients. How do I configure it to route internet traffic from iOS through the VPN tunnel of the server? I have the VPN client configured in iOS to route all traffic to the VPN. Mahalo.

Mahalo for the reply. Using Safair for iOS I cannot access any websites. I have DNS setup on Server and I am getting DNS replys from the open web, but all websites fail to load. Since is appears Server did not automatically setup NAT traversal I tried to set it up myself, but still no luck. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.


I tried to avoid it for security reasons but in the end I just decided to setup and http proxy, and that works just fine. Its just troubling that I cannot fine tune the network routing on my Mac Server.

MacMiniVault provide Mac mini hosting services. As part of this they have written a guide and more importantly a script for setting up a Mac mini as a VPN server with all traffic routed via the VPN connection.


I have tried this myself and it works great and is much easier than manually editing the pf firewall rules to do the routing.


See http://www.macminivault.com/1-min-vpn/ and download the script from https://github.com/MacMiniVault/Mac-Scripts
