Acess Transmission Jail from different network

[daihawks]

I have 2 interfaces setup

em0 - 192.168.10.10
em1 - 192.168.20.10
Default Gateway on FreeNAS is 192.168.20.1


My main router is on 192.168.10.1
I have a second router on 192.168.20.1 (this has Open VPN, and connects through the main router)

I have setup the Transmission Jail on 192.168.20.11, and downloads through Open VPN work.

I can connect to the transmission GUI from a computer on the 192.168.20.x network, however
I want to connect to this from a computer on the 192.168.10.x network

I have tried adding an alias in the jail, but cant get this to work, I'm obviously doing something wrong!

I have searched the web but can not find anything on how this should be setup in the JAIL gui.

Can anyone help pls.

Looks like you need to read up on how to configure your networks. Hint: 255.255.0.0

P.S. This has absolutely nothing to do with FreeNAS or jails, it's purely a network thing.

Could you explain why 255.255.0.0 is a hint please ?

My subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 which is correct for the ip address.

What I believe is i need the correct settings within the jail which has a second alias IP on the 192.168.10.x network which then routes or bridges to the IP of the jail, 192.168.20.11.

You need to read up on the relationship between subnets and IPs.

This statement:

My subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 which is correct for the ip address.

Is laughable because you clearly do not understand the technology you are playing with.

I have no doubt that once you understand networking better you'll laugh at your comment too.

I admit I am not a network expert, and yes if I understood it correctly I would probably laugh at the statement.
Not being a network expert is the reason I posted what I was trying to accomplish and hopefully get some help.

Can anyone help with this.

Got this working...

In the jail IPv4 Alias - i put in a 192.168.10.12address
this showed up in the bridge0 interface
so i then added the em0 interface to the bridge.

I can now connect to 192.168.10.12 to access the transmission webpage, from a PC on 192.168.10.x, and all the transmission traffic routes through 192.168.20.1 router.

didn't need to do anything more complex such as sub netting etc !!!

Maybe the OP didn't appreciate the hint, but I sure did. 15 minutes of internet reading and I've learned a lot. Thanks. Learning new things is why I come to the forum.

To the OP: glad you got it working. As is often the case, there is more than one way to accomplish a specific task.

@pschatz100
It's amazing what someone can learn in a short time if they are willing to do a little research. That is how I did it and to be honest, I had no clue what a subnet was when I needed to do some splitting and sharing of networks.
