hi

am new to the whole VPN setup and would really like to use it that is for 2 reasons mostly:-

1) map an NAS device which is on my HOME WORKGROUP network, through a VPN tunnel to another remote PC... (Main Goal)
2) Privacy and anonymity...

I got a R7000 and it got that feature built in and i believe i configure it right:

then OpenVPN ran fine:

but then what ??!...

am totally lost maybe because i didnt digest the entire concept of VPN , how do i connect to this PC from a remote location and mainly be able to see all machines on the workgroup and map[ some of them !...

any help or clarification is appreciated...

thanks,
 
First thing is to try to ping a device on the local LAN from the remote LAN.
