Hey,
I just installed OpenVPN. Server-side on win 2003 SBS (no bridge possible), and for now just one client under Win7 PRO x86.
All is fine except that i can't ping client from server. However i can ping server with both ovpn IP and local IP.
For now i just made test in local mode.
My goal is to permit mobiles users to access server and machines behind it, from anywhere. It's not really a matter if i can't ping clients... but it should work, no? 😃
The LAN is 192.168.10.0/255 where the server is 192.168.10.253 and gateway is 192.168.10.100
Ovpn subnet is as default 10.8.0.0/24
Here's the client config:
client
dev tun
;dev tap
proto udp
;##FOR TEST###

;i tried with those 2 lines, but i cannot ping server anymore.
;push "route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0"
;push "redirect-gateway def1"
I forwarded port like that:
And i also tried to route like that (Is it the ggod way?), of course i tried to uncomment the last two lines of server conf..., tried to disable router's firewal, ....

What did i make wrong?
Hope you 'll can help 🙂
Thanks
