I have set up an OpenVPN connection between my router and a Windows PC. I can establish connections from the PC to hosts on my LAN by IP address (so obviously routing is working), but I achieved that only by by positioning the TAP/TUN adapter at the top of my adapters in Windows. I suspect that is not the "proper" way of doing it. And name resolution is not working.
While debugging I noticed that I cannot see nay evidence of the PC in the router except for in the VPN connection display. There is nothing in the routing table (either the tunnel's subnet or the host at the endpoint). Is that normal? Seems like there should be something indicating that the remote host is reached via the VPN tunnel rather than router's default WAN connection.
It looks like I've missed something significant in the setup. Where do I start looking?
Also, is there any way to display the OpenVPN server's configuration file? Much of the debugging clues I've seen on the web mention making custom changes to the config. I see how to add custom definitions, but I have no idea what is already there.
