local ip address is : 192.21.13.80
and the VPN client access address is : 172.21.13.80

Does this mean you have a VPN client on your computer, and it has assigned you
the address 172,21,13,80?

What’s at the other end of the VPN?

http://172.21.13.80:8086

Can you access that in a browser?

dial tcp 172.21.13.80:8086: connect: no route to host

So, this is a networking problem, not an Influx problem.

Please explain your network setup to us, for example:

  • what is the IP address of the machine you are trying to connect to Influx
    from?

  • what is the IP address of the machine which is running Influx?

  • if these two addresses are not in the same subnet, how are they connected
    to each other?

  • can you ping the influx machine’s address from your own computer?

Antony.

Thank you!
The influxdb runing on the server ip address is 192.21.13.80, and my computer can’t access it directly, i must login the VPN client first and access the http://172.21.13.80:8086

Even if I close the browser, it is still print the error to the /var/log/message every 10 seconds.

Which is it? 192 or 172?

What IP address does your computer get assigned when you are connected to the
VPN, and can you then ping 172.21.13.80 (assuming that’s the correct address)?

172 is the outside ip address.

After i connected to the VPN, i can ping it .

Good.

So, what happens if you:

a) stop influx on your local machine, and check /var/log/messages to ensure it
really is stopped

b) start (or re-start) the VPN link

c) start influx on your machine

d) check /var/log/messages to see whether it can now connect to 172.21.13.80

172.21.13.80 maybe the virtual ip of server, it can’t access in the server, only can access from my computer which has been login the VPN client.
