Can You Chain Connections? #205

Closed BoxWizard000000 closed 5 years ago

I'm using this on a raspberry pi that is connected to a computer via ethernet. The computer is sharing its internet with the pi.

When I try to connect my Samsung Galaxy Tab A to the Raspberry Pi, the connection is not seen.

When I try to connect my Samsung Galaxy Tab A to the Raspberry Pi, the connection is not seen.

Concretely, what do you do?

What do you mean by "the connection is not seen"?

BoxWizard000000 commented 5 years ago

I have an apache web server displaying a custom web page that acts like a form a user can fill out information in. I can connect just fine from my pi by typing in the IP of the server. Next, I use Gnirehtet on the raspberry pi and connect my Samsung Galaxy Tab A to it. The VPN is established and I try to connect to the LAN network from my Galaxy Tab A and it doesn't seem to work.

I had thought that this works by establishing a VPN to whatever network the host is connected to. In this case, the host is a raspberry pi connected to a LAN network, but I'm not seeing the server and I cannot connect to the webpage.

If it works when you connect to http://xx.xx.xx.xx/page.html from your pi, then it should work to connect to http://xx.xx.xx.xx/page.html from your device.

(If xx.xx.xx.xx == 127.0.0.1, you must replace it by 10.0.2.2.)

Could you paste gnirehtet logs?

Ok nevermind. I figured out that I was calling autostart vs. autorun. I have another issue starting directly from Ubuntu I'll post the logs for in another report. Sorry for the trouble.
