I am trying to use OpenVPN for a lantolan from office to home. All the forum posts I find are client server based. I don't need DHCP on the remote end etc. I want to route SUBNET A to SUBNET B over the VPN. I feel like this should be very simple but I have been struggling to get it working.

"head end" Cradlepoint AER1600, Remote end ASUS RT-AC68U Running Merlin 380.68_4. I have support with Cradlepoint and have verified that the "headend" is setup properly. The Cradlepoint give me an option for "sitetosite" The Asus only seems to have an option for client server.

I do NOT want NAT between the networks. the main usage of this tunnel will be an SMB share and quickbooks.

The error I keep getting on the Asus is:
Restart pause, 300 second(s)

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I have been working on this all weekend. I am down to base one the firewall logs. port 1194 is not open on the ASUS even though it port forwarded.

I tried to manually add to IP tables but it will not save.
 
If cradlepoint is the server, then the Asus should be the client, and I don't think you get into ports on the Asus side. So I'm unclear on the topology you have.
 
Elorimer,
Thank you for your reply. I created a quick diagram so that you can see what I am trying to do.
