Cannot connect without vpn

[uklink]

Hi all,

I have an application on JBoss 6.1.0 that runs fine locally. When I try to connect from the Internet, I get an exception (Connection to host refused). When I activate my vpn to the Server, it works.

Any ideas why I cannot connect to the application via the Internet?

Thanks for answers.

greetings

Either your N/W firewall might be rejecting the requests coming from the outside of your VPN network.

OR

You might not be running your JBoss instance in a public bind address. So check if you are starting your JBoss on public bind address as following:

./standalone.sh -b internetAddress

Here "internetAddress"  should be an IP Address (or a registered hostname) which does not just belong to your private network (because as you mentioned that When I activate my vpn to the Server, it works.), Which indicates tat you might be running your address to some private IP.
