DNS and gateway in eWon LAN

Ewon Support eWON Cosy
#1

Hello,
May I kindly ask you for help?
I am trying to set up eWon as VPN access to our company network. We need this for IT staff, because official company VPN is overloaded.

I have LTE ewon, I assigned LAN IP with address from one of our IP range.
Now, I can connect to this IP Range.
But now here comes troubles.
Is it possible to use our company DNS to be able to use devices names to connect to them?
Is it possible to set up GW to be able to reach other IP ranges in our LAN?

I tried to set up in Storage/COM setting, but I was not sucesfull.

Thank you very much for each advise.

Hello Jan,

As I am sure you are aware you are using the ewon in a way it is not intended. The ewons and eCatcher are designed to route you over to a singe particular subnet. We do not have a way to use it to route though a gateway on the LAN.

With a typically setup in an industrial environment you typically know the IP addresses of the devices or are using software to discover them. You could try setting you company DNS on you internet connection to force you PC to resolve into your network. I am not sure how well this will work. You can also set a DNS on the tap adapter but I do not expect this to get used.
