Access point as VPN client

[VanRaiks]

Dear all,

I have a case where there are 2 LANs that I would like to connect over internet via VPN. Each LAN has wired (and not wireless) router, that holds an internet connection. Idea was to put WiFi access point on LAN 1 that may act also as OpenVPN client. On LAN 2 I already have OpenVPN server and that hosts some 2 VPN connections already.

I've managed to put VPN version of DD-WRT firmware on one WiFi router and successfully made connection to OpenVPN server. So they are connected and stable.

It is obvious, that I have to set some static routing rules on a router of first network (Gateway 1). Unfortunately I cannot figure out right settings. Current routing table of Gateway 1 is here.



To create new static routing entry I have to fill fields:

Destination LAN IP:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
Hop Count: (1 to 15)
Interface: (Lan or Wan)

Any help?

This scenario is a really good use case for ipsec vpn tunnels and site-to-site tunnels. Then you don't have to worry about the access point being a client or a server since the routers handle the tunnel.
