Hi all,
I have a Raspberry Pi connected to a MS switch in its own Vlan and for the some reason I cannot connect or even ping the device remotely. I have set up 1to 1 Nat from my Public IP but still no joy. Any help much appreciated
Do you have any firewall rules configured that could be blocking access?
Is the MX's public IP configured directly on the MX's WAN? Is this IP behind a CGNAT?
Hi no I dont see any rules blocking, very simple set up;
If the device is open using port forwarding be aware this isn't secure, using a VPN would be a better approach.
Are you trying to ping your device from inside or outside of your network?
Does the Raspberry Pi have a firewall on it, and if so, is ping allowed?
I am trying to ping from outside my network. Ping is allowed and there i no FW on the Pi
Ping will not work in 1:1 NAT, only access to the specific port that you have allowed will work.
My advice is not to open this communication to the internet but to set up a Site to Site VPN which is more secure.
Ok many thanks. Setting up Site to Site VPN is easy enough to a non Meraki Device?
Yes,
