I'm on a RT-AC87U running Merlin 384.13_10. I enabled the OpenVPN server today with largely default options (with the exception of some suggestions I noticed in this forum) and it was very easy to connect to from my iOS devices. The problem I have is that I can't reach anything on my LAN, which I think is essentially the point of a VPN - so I would be surprised if I have to do something customized to enable this?
For example, my LAN is 192.168.1.0 and the VPN subnet is 10.8.0.0. When my iOS devices connect to OpenVPN and get a 10.8.0.x IP address, they cannot reach (I've tried ping and http) anything on my LAN. I have even tried the following in the OpenVPN "Custom Configuration" but it had no effect (maybe the syntax is wrong):
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
Am I doing something stupid or is there some sorcery I'm missing for an OpenVPN client to reach things on the OpenVPN server's LAN?
