Hi,
my urbackup server is just celebrating second aniversary of doing its job, but only recently I have turned on internet backup functionality as I needed to backup 2 additional hosts located in the cloud, which is connected to our lan using site-to-site vpn tunnel. That works now OK.
However I have realized, that without changing any configuration to other clients, one laptop started to do regular backups when connected via Open VPN, which was not the case earlier. Is that intended behavior? I don’t mind it for that particular PC, but it might become an issue for some users especially connected via mobile network with transfer limits, I think I need to turn on Internet mode just for the group of clients defined for the cloud and keep it off for the rest, so it is not really an issue, just an interesting observation and warning for other admins 
regards
Robert
Is your OpenVPN using TUN or TAP mode? (i.e. layer 2 VPN or layer 3 VPN)? Because if it’s a layer 2 VPN, then it really appears to any device as if it actually is on the same Layer-2 Network (same broadcast domain).
I can’t say if it is intentional, but the effect would not surprise me.
Hi,
our OpenVPN runs in TUN mode, so Layer 3. But I think that server side settings with internet name/IP address set to private IP address of urbackup server is being propagated to clients. When I check that on the client side, I can see that internet box is checked and IP address populated. I have not done that on the client side, server must have pushed it.
As I said - not a big deal to avoid, but quite interesting.
