Cannot seem to connect to Snaplabs via VPN

Hello,

I’ve spun up a Snaplabs range - it’s a templated range based on shirts. I seem to be having trouble connecting to it though:

  • I’ve added a VPN and tried to connect to it from several endpoints (including a cloud instance with no filtering) and the connection is never made on port 1194
  • I’ve tried adding an admin machine as it is necessary to connect to different machines via guacamole but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place.

Any push in the right direction would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Hi,

    The lack of an AdminBox would very much be the problem as that handles the routing and the VPN. Can you check within your AWS instance to see if it exists within it?

    Thanks

    Dave

      Hi Dave,

      Thanks for your reply - indeed, I don’t seem to have an AdminBox in my setup. How would I add it? I can’t see any option to do this.

        There definitely isn't a method to add a new AdminBox, however all isn't lost. 

        As most of your range is built from the Shirts template , you can create images of the hosts you have added/modified (https://docs.snaplabs.io/docs/systems-apps#image) and then deploy a fresh shirts template and add the missing/modified hosts from the created images
