VPN server as well as client at the same time, can it be done?

Hello all
I have a situation here at home. I have been looking around and can't seem to find a solution.
I am using iVPN so my Mac Mini can act as a VPN server at home for my family to connect to the home network when they are away.
I also occasionally use the mac mini to connect to a VPN server at work.
Now the problem is, when the Mini is connected to work as a client, no VPN connections can come in, so everytime someone wants to connect home, i would have to switch off the Mini's own VPN connection to work.
Is there anyway round this? So the Mini can keep working as a VPN client whilst accepting incoming VPN connections to the home network?
Thanks a lot in advance

The likely reason no one can connect to the mini when it is connected to your work VPN has more to do with your work than your home set up. The administrator at work would have to decide to allow for "split-tunneling", thereby allowing your mac to be connected to work and the outside world simultaneously.

Talk to the network admin at work.

  • Can I use my New Imac as a server and a workstation/client at the same time ?

    I havea  brand new (2 months Old) Imac - 4 Gig, fully loaded and want to use it as a server using lion server app.  I want to use it for ical server, Addressbook and fileshareing with a bit more security.  I dont want to buy a new computer, just use the existing one to do these services.  At the same time, I want to still use this computer for my regular work. 
    There will be a few users with low traffic.  At the beggining, there will be only 1 other user for the calander, addressbook and file server.  Later it might grow to 4.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated !!!
    PS - Any advice on how to set this up or tricks would be appreciated
    Thanks Again

    great Idea !!  Lets assume I dont want to go virtual - what is your thought on that ?
    Lion Server is a "layer" on top of client. The services run in the background and do consume resources like the RAM, CPU, and HD, while you're using the computer as a client. That said, when running a VM with say VMWare Fusion you dedicate Cores and RAM to VM, even if the VM doesn't need all the CPU horsepower or RAM for your server tasks. So it may be that running a full blown Lion Server as VM along side client is more resource intensive on your computer than just running Lion Server while also using it as a workstation.

  • ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN Server and Easy VPN Client at the same time?

    Is it possible to configure and operate the ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN server and Easy VPN Client at the same time? We would like to configure a few of these without having to purchase additional ASA 5505 and use a 2 device method (1 SSL VPN Server and 1 Easy VPN Client). Thanks in advance.

    I don't think it is possible. Following links may help you

  • WDS 2012 R2 - Cannot PXE multiple clients at the same time

    Hello All,
    This is my first post on here so I apologize if this is the wrong place.  I work for a school district and we are implementing WDS 2012 R2.  We've been extremely satisfied with the speeds and ease of use through unattend files.  However, for
    the past month I've been looking for a possible answer to a problem that has plagued us from day one of implementation.
    So here's the problem:
    I have a stand alone WDS server which is not a domain controller and is not our DHCP server.  I have IP helpers and broadcast forwarders setup on the network.  As well as option 66 and 67 in DHCP.  So far so good right!
    Well that's partially right.  When we boot one client at a time to the WDS server.  Everything works as intended.  We can TFTP the necessary files from the WDS server.  Everything boots up and we're off and running.
    However, if we boot up two or more clients at the same time.  The WDS server never responds to the traffic.  The clients get their DHCP information.  They start the referral and download from the WDS server, but get no response.  I'm
    really hoping that someone on here would have some insight of something I can try.  I've about exhausted my list of peers and contacts.  They're all stumped as well and were smart enough to stay with 2008 WDS.
    I would prefer to stick with 2012 R2 since it's setup and working for the most part.  With only this one hiccup.
    Thanks in advance for any guidance!

    Hello Daniel,
    I appreciate the reply and apologize for taking so long to get back to this.   Things have been a little hectic over here.
    I have tried everything on this forum and I am still unsuccessful in PXE booting multiple clients at the same time.
    Multicast is enabled on the server, and it works for the clients.  However, as stated in the original post.  I cannot boot multiple machines at the same time.  I can start them from the image selection screen around the same time though.  So,
    that appears to be working fine.

  • Transport change request to two clients at the same time

    Hello all,
    we have two clients in QAS system - 600 and 700, now the extended transport control has been setup, once we release a TR in DEV system, there will be two entries in QAS import queue, one for 600 and one for 700, I would like to know whether there is a way to import this TR into QAS (both 600 and 700 client) at the same time, that is to say, just one import action imports the TR into both 600 and 700.
    Currently we have to import one by one, click the entry for 600, import it, and then click entry 700, import it.
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Fresh

    Hi,
    If you want to transport each and every request which is released from Development into both the clients, better schedule transports in both the clients every 1hr/with some duration. Then system automatically imports the requests into target clients without any user intervention.
    Delete all the transports which are "ready to be imported" from Quality queue before you scheule the job!

  • ServerSocket problems accepting 2 client at the same time

    hi all,
    i wrote a simple client-server pair, to synchronize databases, and works fine.
    but i found a problem: all ok when 2 clients try to connect to the server whit a little gap (ie 1 second), the problem is when they try to connect EXACTLY at the same time
    while (true)
                enter();
    synchronized void enter()
            try
                    client=server.accept();
                    thread_name++;
                    s_newport np=new s_newport(client,
                    ((new Integer(thread_name)).toString()));               
                catch (IOException io)
                catch (NullPointerException np)
        }when a request is accepted, an instance of the class s_newport (a thread) starts to open another socket.
    the problem is when 2 requests arrive in the same moment, and the server doesn't accept anything.
    i declared the enter() method synchronized, but this doesn't seem to work!
    anyone could help me please?
    thanks

  • HT4623 My husband just did the update for his iPhone 4, his phone is frozen with the iTunes page and a usb cable across the homescreen. He's tried holding down all the buttons all at the same time. can't shut it off. popped out the sim card, won't charge

    We just did the iPhone update ios 6. The screen is frozen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a USB cale across the screen. none of the buttons respond.The phone does not recognize the apple USB when connected. We tried holding all the buttons down at the same time and also removed the SIM card and reinserted.

    If it's not being recognized while it's in recovery mode in your itunes, try this
    plug the phone into the usb attached to the computer
    hold down the home and sleep/wake button on top simultaneously until the phone's screen goes black
    When the screen goes black, release your finger from the sleep/week button on top but continue holding the home button until you see a dialog on the itunes screen on your computer that says 'itunes has detected a device in recovery mode'
    then say 'ok,' select 'restore,' and say 'restore and update'

  • HT4623 I would like to have both my lock symbol and mute symbol to be off at the same time can they both be in the control at the same time

    looking for a way to have. both mute in lock symbol in the control panel. don't like that I can only have one working at a time

    I have posted this many, many times here. See if this helps you understand how this process works with regard to system sounds and screen rotation lock.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

  • HT201933 How can I use my trackpad and my Apple Magic Mouse at the same time? If I don't have my mouse with me I can't use my laptop. The trackpad only moves an arrow around but doesn't let me click on anything?

    Hi, thanks for your answer,
    No, I connected the midi-in from the blofeld to midi-out from the virus. I was told to do so by the guy who sold me the ultralite mk3.
    I made some tests before getting the ultralite... I used the Virus soundcard as audio device and I could control the blofeld. But I had to link my monitor to the Blofed Out... then I wasn't able to listent to the Virus. But this way I could play the Blofeld in Logic (but couldn't see any midi data and when I bounced I had no sound)
    That's the main reason I decided to buy an external audio device (to be able to play both the Virus and the Blofeld)
    But I think the way I connected Blofeld to Virus is right because I can see the light which means it receives midi data.
    I think it's more about how to set it within logic...
    And the Blofeld only gets one Midi connection: Midi In
    Both my Virus and Blofeld are also connected to my MacPro via USB, that's the reason I didn't connect the synths to the ultralite via midi...
    thanks for you help! I'm getting crazy lol

  • How can I use my IPAD to stream Musik to two Air Port Clients in a network at the same time?

    I want to stream my musik via I PAD to more than one Air Port Clients at the same time. Via MAC it is possible to select "more speaker". In the I PAD I can only select Station 1 or Station 2.

    I opened Airport Utility today and it appears to have been simplified to the point where you can't do much with it these days.
    Yes, welcome to the Fisher Price toy box utility.. where nothing in the way of advanced usage is offered.
    Is there a way to accomplish what I want to do that is reasonably simple?
    You can put time controls onto the offending addresses.
    But if the hackers know anything at all they know how to access the MAC address of the computer and change it.. so the effectiveness of this is limited.
    Change the current setup and password.. You must use WPA2 Personal and I recommend you use a pure alphanumeric password, mix case and numbers of 20 characters or more for your situation.. do not give that password to anyone.. protect the admin password of the TC itself equally well but with a different password. And protect the physical access to the TC from anyone in your home.. because the fact is all security on the TC is an illusion if the TC has open access.
    See how to find passwords here.
    i forgot my password for my router, how can I change them.
    So anyone can discover your passwords without your knowledge and leave no trace on your system.
    If you make no progress.. I suggest replacement of the TC as the main router of your network.. you need something with controls.. and even better controls that allow you to block people.
    The favourite one now is older Netgear WNDR3800 . .you might need to buy from ebay although a few new ones are still around.. alternatively the WNDRMACv2 is simply the same hardware in a white box.. instead of black.
    Load gargoyle firmware onto it.. sorry if I even point to where you can find this info my post will be deleted.. I can say it.. just cannot help further.. so use google.. there are lots of posts and let me assure you this get combo.
    You can continue to use TC at what it does best.. a dumb wireless AP and location for TM backups.

  • Is it possible to have Oracle client 7 and 9 at the same time?

    I have Windows XP and I need to have both clients at the same time in the same machine.
    Is it possible to have multiple oracle homes, one for each client version?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick replay...I supposed that answers but I have seen some info where it said that Oracle Client releases previous to 8.0.4 supports only single home.
    The case is my customer has already installed and Oracle Client 7 to access some old database, now we need to install on the same computer a Oracle Client 9.2, you mean there is no problem with this ?
    Thanks in advance....

  • OS10.6x - Connect to Server as 2 or more users at same time

    Our office uses a mac-mini as a server running Mac OS10.6.x Server to support 10-15 users (all OS10.6.x).
    Most of the staff only need to connect to our main shared volume / file store (shared point) using a standard login name + pass
    (eg all staff login as <general_user>)
    We also have another file store on the same shared volume for more restricted files which can be accessed by a restricted login name (eg managers can login as <restricted_user>)
    Sometimes I need to access those restricted files from from a computer already connected as <general_user> so it would be useful to have 2 different connections (with different user names) to the server/ shared volume at once.
    ie. connect to the server as <general_user> and <restricted_user> at the same time from single computer
    eg.
    A Staff_Member has general access to the server (or shared volume).
    They are working on a report which they have asked me to review - we do this together on their machine (which is currently connected as <general_user>)
    While reviewing the report, I need to access other information which is of a restricted nature - say select figures from an account etc - that I want to copy and past into the document.
    I want to be able to connect to the server as <restricted_user> temporarily, open the report and then copy and past info into the current document.
    Is this possible.
    It seams that you need to disconnect user one before connecting as another user, however this is not always possible to eject a volume as a task may not allow this (where it is utilised by a application task?).
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Pete

    The start transaction model didn't Fit well with all the process we are doing, but the idea of locking or holding the other users seems to work pretty fine, we are now using a flag to determine if someone is doing the process and put in hold the new ones.

  • Illustrator CS6 crashes when 40 or more files are open at the same time

    Windows 7 SP1, Illustrator CS6
    The end users spends 7 hours of their 8 hours in Illustrator. As part of the job, they have to have over 40 different files open at the same time because they are working on several jobs at the same time as well as working forward. So the answer is not "they have to close some files". This, unfortunately, is not an option.
    We recently upgraded them to CS6. They said that version CS5 was fine and didn't crash like this. But Illustrator CS6 crashes on them, closes itself, and obviously they lose all unsaved changes (saving the changes isn't a choice either, because the files are shared and have to stay original).
    The only modification we've done to the program is to UNcheck "Append" in the preferences.
    This happens on all 3 computers for all 3 users, so I don't believe it to be end-user related.
    Does anyone out there know of a way to get Illustrator to stop crashing?
    Is there a specific limit on the number of files that can be open?
    Thanks,
    Spencer

    No, they aren't working on the same files. All 3 employees are working on different files.
    They are all on Dell Optiplex GX745 with 4 Gb of RAM.
    The crashes are at different times, not all 3 crashing at the same time. Therefore, I don't believe network is the cause of the issues. Also, it didn't crash on CS5, but now it does on CS6.
    What I'm looking for are possible settings within Illustrator CS6 that I can tweak to make it a more stable program.
    Thanks

  • When I have firefox open, it crashes at the same time as my display driver crashes (Crash signature: kernelbase.dll@0xb9bc)

    The screen turns black (audio remains normal if I'm playing music) and then flickers back on. I get a message that says "Nvidia display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully." This happened before and Firefox wouldn't always crash, but the last few days it happens several times a day and Firefox always crashes at the same time as the display driver.
