            the "aks" vnet has an address space of "10.0.0.0/8" that overlaps with the VPN's Point to Site VPN client address pool. Changing the adress pool of your p2s config will solve your problem

            Power BI: How to call API through VPN in Power BI

            First that screenshot you provided looks like it is from Power BI Desktop. The on-premises data gateway is unrelated to Power BI Desktop refreshes. So make sure your laptop is connected to OpenVPN when you refresh in Power BI Desktop.

            Once you are happy with the report you have built and want to publish it to the Power BI Service you will need to setup an on-premises data gateway so that the scheduled refreshes will be able to talk to your source APIs over OpenVPN. Typically you install the “standard mode” (see the link above for more details) and put it on a Virtual Machine or server which is always running (rather than a laptop which can be shut down at night during the scheduled refresh). But if you don’t need scheduled refresh during hours when your laptop is off, I suppose you could use “personal mode”. Personal mode isn’t recommended generally.

            Make sure OpenVPN is connected on the server where the on-premises data gateway software is installed. If this VPN connection disconnects after a few hours then ask your IT team for a better way to get a Virtual Machine which is on the same network as the source API or on a network which has a site-to-site “always connected” type VPN connection.

            You will need to install and configure the gateway software, create a data source with credentials for your source API, ensure your user account is a “User” on that gateway data source, then republish the report from Power BI Desktop so it will bind to the gateway data source and use it during refresh.

            Currently the username is stored unencrypted. Just decode it as Unicode. This may change in future versions. For encrypted data, the call to Unprotect() would take $entropy as the second argument, not $username.

            Bidirectional UDP tunnel with socat on Linux
            Asked 2022-Jan-24 at 10:20

            Is it possible to create a bidirectional UDP tunnel with socat? The starting point is a client (C) that communicates with a server (S) and receives a reply, so C⟷S. Of course, C and S are on different networks with a relay (R) between them, hence the need for C⟷R⟷S. The relay is running Ubuntu Linux.

            Using socat for example per this:

            sudo nohup socat UDP-LISTEN:1194,fork,reuseaddr UDP:IP-ADDRESS-OF-HOME-ROUTER:1194 &

            apparently results in all packets received by the relay (R) to be forwarded to IP-ADDRESS-OF-HOME-ROUTER, including the reply packets from the server, or C⟶R⟷S.

            So my question is, would it be possible to make socat wait for reply packets from the server, and forward them back to the client? Is there perhaps another way to accomplish this goal?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Jan-24 at 10:20

            The second method (datagram with UDP-RECVFROM/UDP-SENDTO) works only in a query/answer mode; a second answer in sequence from the OpenVPN server will not be passed back to the client; and for each query packet a sub process will be forked.

            The first method forks a subprocess per "connection" (determined by source port), and - after an initial packet from the client - forwards in both directions. Sub processes will hang "forever", so it is advisable to use the timeout option -T 3600 or so.

            Asked 2022-Jan-17 at 09:57

            why not just use usual vpn tools? like outline or openvpn or any else, is there any security concern? and of course that's an old version of firefox, why not use another browser with latest version? or maybe firefox with latest version

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Jan-17 at 09:57

            The answer lies probably in some kind of security policies in that company.

            Maybe their VPN gateway is running an obsolete version of VPN server? Maybe, for the users' UX they're using Java Applet based VPN clients? New browsers don't allow running Java Applets (NPAPI in Firefox was abandoned in 2018).

            Why not using other VPN solutions: maybe the cost of implementation (including trainings, auditing, etc) is too high, and the company has mitigated risks in some other ways (for example with strict Internet traffic filtering, allow-lists, Intrusion Detection Systems, etc.)? Maybe there are regulatory limitations, such as FIPS requirement for a VPN solution, which can't be met with popular VPN solutions?

            If employees of that company can connect to the Internet without any restrictions (web sites' allow-list) the risk of introducing malware into company LANs is very high while using such outdated browsers. In big companies, such risks are mitigated with additional security controls.

            To sum it up: I recommend getting knowledge with that company's internal security policies to get the whole picture.
