Unable to Access Security Onion Web Interface Post Installation via VPN

[SankaGamage]

Issue Description:
I installed Security Onion (network installation) on an Oracle Linux VM. The installation completed successfully, and I can connect to the VM using OpenVPN. However, I cannot access the web interface (https://192.168.1.xxx) from my browser.

Environment Details:

• Wi-Fi IP: 192.168.1.xxx
• VPN IP: 172.27.xx.xx
• Web Interface IP: 192.168.1.xxx
• Allowed Range (Configured): 172.27.xx.xx/xx

Steps Taken:

• Allowed VPN range for web access during installation (172.27.xx.xx/xx).
• Verified Security Onion services are running (so-status).
• Checked network interfaces and ensured IP addresses are correct (ip a).
• Used so-allow to confirm allowed IP ranges.

Expected Behavior:

• Web interface (https://192.168.1.xxx) should be accessible via VPN.

Request for Help:

1. Are additional post-installation steps required for web access?
2. How to troubleshoot this connectivity issue?
