some discrepancy with SandBox  setup  

APIC

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lab.devnetsandbox.local

@nkalkeri once your vpn is connected are you able to access the UI for ACI one the IP address  provided in the sandbox instructions 

10.10.20.14

HI @bigevilbeard ,

Post connecting private VPN url ,when i tried to access APIC UI  its says below , 

Hmmm… can't reach this page

10.10.20.14 took too long to respond 

 as i already shared previously   VPN private IP assignment above, is it need to be in same subnet or it  will be routable from 192.X to 10.X within SandBox infra ?

@nkalkeri the VPN DHCP pool does not necessarily need to be on the same subnet as the infrastructure. When accessing the UI are you using http or https? Are you able to ssh to the devbox 10.10.20.50?
