My goal is to be able to login to my RT-N66U VPN server from a WAN address and then access file shares behind it on my internal LAN. So far I have been able to achieve this by using PPTP servers and clients but have been unsuccessful with OpenVPN.
So far I have limited the internal DHCP server address range to 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.190. I then changed the following settings under VPN details leaving the rest at default values:
Attempt 1 : VPN Subnet / Netmask - 10.0.0.8 / 255.255.255.0 (default values) - Server starts up fine, openvpn client connects but unable to ping/tracert from VPN client to Internal LAN PCs and vice versa
Attempt 2 : VPN Subnet / Netmask - 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 --> Resulted in an error when turning on the VPN server, "Error Code 0"
Attempt 3 : VPN Subnet / Netmask - 192.168.1.192 / 255.255.255.224 --> VPN server started up fine and the OpenVPN client was able to connect but unable to ping/tracert from VPN client to Internal LAN PCs and vice versa. (VPN Client was assigned IP 192.168.1.198)
Could anyone point me in the right direction to get this working? Many thanks...
