Accessing clients from pods #69

Closed pdostal closed 5 years ago

Hello @pieterlange,

first of all thank you for this nice openVPN deployment! I just have a question about accessing mapped client's port.

The openvpn pod has in my case IP 192.168.186.186 and I can access the client port through this IP but I'm not sure if this one is fixed and I don't know it's DNS name either. There is openvpn.default.svc.cluster.local DNS name but it points to 10.100.163.106 which does not listen on the client port.

Can you suggest which IP / DNS name I should use in my pods?

Thank you

You can create Services to map arbitrary ports to the openvpn pod(s). Say you want to expose a HTTP service on a VPN client to the pods in your cluster, you could create a new service to do that. Example in kube/routeme.yaml.
