Re: What addresses does the VPN concentrator assign?

Hi Rob,

I believe the campus VPN subnet changed (as of September 29) to the following:

136.152.208.0/22

Thanks,

Subject: [Micronet] What addresses does the VPN concentrator assign?

I'm missing something regarding the VPN concentrator assignments.

At http://www.net.berkeley.edu/vpn/ it says:
"The UCB IP address that is assigned to the VPN client is within the
136.152.208.0/23 subnet."

So, I've set my server's firewall to allow connections in that range
from some off-campus accounts - thus they don't get past my server's
firewall from off-campus except through the VPN.

But I have a user who, when she connects through the standard VPN client
to ucb-vpn.berkeley.edu, is issued and IP of 136.152.211.xx and so my
firewall blocks her connection. Isn't this outside the stated range above?

Whether I'm understanding this correctly or not, what is the range of
addresses assigned by the VPN so I can set them up as exceptions on my
server's firewall?

thanks -
Rob
