So I followed this guide in setting up my personal vpn on the same droplet which contained my website.
Now the vpn works but my website doesn’t work anymore.
I tried enabling ufw again but still doesn’t work.
Luckily I made a snap of my droplet before doing it.
I’m just here to know if it is possible to do it or not.
I used this guide/tut: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-ikev2-vpn-server-with-strongswan-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-4-—-configuring-strongswan
Everything’s working fine now. I have fixed it.
I first restored from a snap.
What went wrong was that at my first install (I’m using putty here), i put the host name as my domain then log on to my sudo user there and this where the website did not load.
On second attempt and the fix: I ssh using my site’s ip address instead of the domain and installed everything and all of it works fine.
Website now loads and the vpn works.
I know I was stupid to ssh through my domain. Haha So yeah… Maybe someone out there made the same mistake as mine, I’m just putting this here.
