Issue

  • You have mapped the same IP address to multiple ports on Liferay PaaS VPN configuration but it is not working the connection.

Environment

  • Liferay PaaS
  • VPN Connected

Resolution

  • If you are using the same IP address and different ports mapped into different Liferay PaaS ports such as:
    192.168.0.0:8080 mapped to VPN:8080

    192.168.0.0:9090 mapped to VPN:9090

    192.168.0.0:7070 mapped to VPN:7070
    We are currently developing an improvement so this scenario can be possible. But, for now, you can not map the same IP even using different ports.
  • If you are using the same combination IP address and port to map into different Liferay PaaS VPN ports such as:
    192.168.0.0:8080 mapped to VPN:8080

    192.168.0.0:8080 mapped to VPN:9090

    This scenario is not possible. Each combination (IP address + private port) can only be mapped into a single Liferay PaaS VPN port.
