Host names not resolved & Wan IP address from the Server lan

Post by eric.joris@pandora.be » Tue Jul 18, 2017 1:50 pm

Hi,

I'm new in OpenVPN and use OpenVPN implementaion on my LinkSys WRT1900ACS router.
I can connect from a remote client and ping all the resources in the Server network. However there are 2 problems:
1) The host names on the Server network do not resolve. I can connect to Windows shares using the host IP address but not using the host names.
2) When I check the Wan IP address on remote client,I see the address from the local lan ISP, not that from the Server lan.

Any suggestion what goes wrong and how to resolve it?

Thanks, Eric
