Scenario: have openvpn server running on merlin router at office. File server is behind the router.
I am able to log in to the server from a windows 10 client through OpenVPN GUI. The client can reach the file server by using the office LAN's local DNS Name (fileserver.office).
I then set up a VPN client on my merlin router at home. I set VPN director rules to direct local (192.168.0.0/24) subnet to remote (office) subnet (192.168.1.0/24). The router-based client works and my home computer can ping and connect to the file server through its IP address (192.168.1.100) but not through its local DNS name (fileserver.office).
nslookup basically says the .office domain does not exist.
Given that connecting to the server directly from a client computer works but not if the computer is connected to a client router, this is telling me that the problem is in the client router's setting. What am I missing?
