Situation:
On my local network I have a server that is accessible from within the LAN and (using a firewall rule) from outside. So far so good.
The software using the server is installed on mobile devices that access the server from within the LAN and from outside.
The settings in the software only allow setting a local ip or an external ip.
The current workaround is to set the local ip on the mobile devices (iPhone and iPad). For external access the users have to start a VPN session first and then sync with the server.
I really would like to take out the VPN step and have all users, mobile and otherwise, use the external ip whether they are on the LAN or outside.
I have tried to setup up a VLAN for the mobile devices, but that did not work.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Jaap
