comment out this line
ifconfig 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1
in the client config and reconnect.

I have comment out the configuration and didn't work.

Do you have any more ideas?

also, post the client log file when connecting, remove the line
push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0"
from the client side (it does not do anything) and make sure there is no firewall blocking access from the tun device:

Code: Select all

iptables -I INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -o tun+ -j ACCEPT

The tun is established, my logs do not point any errors.

I will check the router and I will post back in case I found something wrong.

In the client I can not ping the eth0 which is 192.168.2.3, I only can ping the virtual network 192.168.0.0.
my server network is 192.168.200.0 and my server ip is 192.168.200.3
I can ping the client on 192.168.0.0 but I can not ping my lan interface 192.168.2.3.

have you seen something like this?

if you issue netstat -nr on your client,do you see the static route
for 192.168.200 network?

did you enabled ip forwarding on server?

also for testing disable iptables on server,

what os is your client and which version of openvpn did you used?
