Hello:
I have downloaded and installed the VPN Appliance. I deployed it to
an ESXi 5 host and it received an IP via DHCP. When I try to open the
site it points me to (https://150.1.91.28) I get a message that says:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/openvpn/about.cgi on this
server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at 150.1.91.28 Port 443

I have installed the certificate from the VPN appliance (although it
expired Feb 2011) with no luck.

Any ideas? My PC is behind a firewall on a different subnet and I
tried it on a server on the same subnet as the VPN (150.1.91.x)

John,

You must use a private IP range like 192.168, 10...., etc.
The web interface will not work when the request is coming from a
internet rotatable IP for security reasons.

I am confused. The internal IP is 150.1.91.28 and is assigned to the
device via dhcp. The screen shows the login site to be https://150.1.91.28
to add users and configurations. This is an internally routable
address.
