I have an AC68P running merlin 386.3_2 firmware. WAN port is hooked up to a modem, whose IP address is 192.168.1.1. Router's IP is 192.168.3.1/Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0. I have OpenVPN servers running on ports 1194 and 443, Client will use VPN to access - Both. VPN Subnet / Netmask are 10.8.0.0/255.255.255.0 and 10.16.0.0/255.255.255.0
Connected locally:
I can access internet, local NAS, and also the upstream modem via 192.168.1.1 (to manage the modem) if I'm at home.
Connected via OpenVPN:
I can access internet and local NAS, but I am unable to access or ping 192.168.1.1. The packet logs show packets are DROPPED. Doesn't matter if I use TCP or UDP.
Workaround:
If I set up Dual WAN (Load Balance) and set the secondary WAN as an empty port (like ethernet LAN 4 or USB, both of which are empty) and also set up routing rule of 192.168.1.1 (Source IP - all, Destination IP - 192.168.1.1, WAN Unit - Primary WAN), the OpenVPN clients can access 192.168.1.1. This workaround is a less than elegant solution.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong and how can I open up 192.168.1.1 to OpenVPN clients using single WAN?
