OpenVPN not allowing Network Shares in Windows 10

[MickLG]

Hi Support

I have setup OpenVPN on an Ubuntu Server on Raspbery Pi 4
I also have a second Ubuntu Server with four shares on it.

I have created profile files for a Windows 10 Laptop, and a pair of Android Phones, and an Android tablet.

The shares work perfectly when connected to my home network, without the VPN

The shares also work from a remote location on the Android devices using OpenVPN

But I can't get the shares to work on the Win10 laptop, after connecting to Open VPN.

I have checked the profiles and they are fine. Even tried a profile I used on one of the Android devices, which I know worked, but still didnt work on the Win10 device.


More info
My home network starts with 192.169.10.*
The network I am currently using and trying to connect from, using OpenVPN is 192.168.100.*

However the android devices are on the same 192.168.100.* network, and work flawlessly

I am using OpenVPN Server on a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu Linux Server

I used the instructions at this website to set it up

Can you help?

Hi MickLG,

It should work if you enter the IP address of the system manually. You won't be able to browse for the windows shares on a different subnet. The broadcast won't traverse the subnets.

Hi Jan,

I tried using \\192.168.*.*\etc

But still, I could not open that way. This is only happening on win10 using the OpenVPN Client, it works fine using the Share Names from my Android Device using the OpenVPN client
