Can someone please put me through on how to access a URL over VPN. Already VPN link has been established and both remote and local hosts are seeing one another. Also, when i used curl command to check the availability of the URL it displays it in html format. However, am looking at some ways to access such URL over browser.

What about if you just put the IP address of the server in your browser?

It wont work because the server is only available on VPN and besides it has only local IP address.

I agree with Philip.
You said in your original post that you want to access it over the VPN.
You did not say that you are NATting the host address so its local IP address should be natively accessible via the VPN. If you are NATting the remote subnet(s) then you would use the NAT address.

lemme explain better, my coy has site to site VPN to another coy and we need to be accessing reports on their remote host behind the tunnel. However, they gave us URL to be accessing over the tunnel.
Once i ssh to my server that is peered with the remote host (server is sitting at a far Data Center) then i will do port forwarding on the putty that i used to ssh to my server and open browser and type remote host URL, then replace the IP with localhost and the URL opens.
Now am looking for a more simpler method to achieve this because of non technical guys in my coy.
That is my challenge
