I have hosted a Gitserver using GITEA in my office network. I can access that server from machines locally present in my office in LAN.  
However when I try to connect to GIT Server ([http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:3000/admin/repo.git](http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:3000/admin/repo.git)) from my local Laptop [Connected to my Office VPN successfully], it gives me connection time out error.

I cannot find any documentation to enable this setup.  
Please help me.

It looks like this is a network problem you should discuss with the system administrator in charge of the office VPN. They will be able to help.

If I remember correctly, `admin` is a reserved word of Gitea that you should not create an account or repository directly?

Thank you dachary. the issue got resolved. It was just the port that was not open for outside access. Once that was taken care of, Issue was resolved.
