Changing LAN subnet to eliminate VPN conflicts

Asked by Kaptain1 in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Windows Networking, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) & HTTPS

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, Server 2003 R2, changing LAN subnet for VPN set-up

Hi Experts!

'I think' I need to change my LAN subnet (perhaps at least the last 2 octets of the LAN IP ex: 192.168.x.x).

As i understand, my LAN subnet should be different from the LAN subnet that's on the other side of the VPN tunnel. ex:(my side = 192.168.2.0 , VPN side = 192.168.3.0)

I'm fairly new to the VPN field, is this somewhat correct?

I'm using Kerio VPN client (i believe it's ssl based, and is in 'Tunnel' model (not ethernet bridging)). So it gives me a VPN IP address, w/o gateway - which is fine i believe. However, i can't access LAN if subnet that i'm connect to is the same as one on my LAN (it won't work if my side = 192.168.1.0, VPN side = 192.168.1.0)

Am i on the right track?
Which LAN subnet should i switch to so that there's less chance people will find similar one (to connect from) and have problems connecting.
By LAN 'subnet' i mean LAN address ex: 192.168.1.0 :), not subnet mask.

I've set-up this VPN access through Kerio WinRoute firewall that will allow people to connect to LAN resources from home and while on the road.

Thank You
