I setup OpenVPN in a machine in my [b]home[/b] network so I can access my files from [b]work[/b]. When my client establishes the openvpn connection, I can access machines in my home network just fine, which is what I wanted. The only thing that I would like to be able to do is connect to machines on my work network (client network) while the tunnel is open. I've been unable to do so. As soon as I start the tunnel, I lose connectivity to my client machine network. Here is the server configuration: [code] port 1194 proto udp dev tun ca ca.crt cert server.crt key server.key dh dh1024.pem crl-verify crl.pem script-security 3 up nat.sh down nat.sh server 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist omv-ipp.txt keepalive 10 120 persist-key persist-tun status /var/log/omvvpn-status.log 5 verb 2 mute 10 push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.1" auth-user-pass-verify vpnpwauth.sh via-env comp-lzo [/code] Some details, my OpenVPN server runs in a OMV box in my home network. My router is forwarding 1194 to such box. My home network uses address space 192.168.*. I have the vpn server using 172.16.*. My work lan uses address space 10.* I had to add the "push DNS" option above in order to be able to browse the web. Though it would be nice to be able to do so via the client network as well. My client machine at [b]work[/b] runs Mac OS X 10.8 and I am using Tunnelblick as OpenVPN client. Tunnelblick's config file is: [code] client remote proto udp dev tun ca omv-ca.crt cert omv-client.crt key omv-client.key ns-cert-type server auth-user-pass comp-lzo [/code] To summarize, first thing is I want to be able to access other machines in the client network while the tunnel is open. Secondarily, I want to be able to route all traffic via the client network (web browsing, etc), and only use the tunnel to access my machines in the home network to access my files.

Client can't access machines in client LAN when VPN is ON

I setup OpenVPN in a machine in my home network so I can access my files from work.

When my client establishes the openvpn connection, I can access machines in my home network just fine, which is what I wanted. The only thing that I would like to be able to do is connect to machines on my work network (client network) while the tunnel is open. I've been unable to do so. As soon as I start the tunnel, I lose connectivity to my client machine network.

Here is the server configuration:

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
crl-verify crl.pem

Some details, my OpenVPN server runs in a OMV box in my home network. My router is forwarding 1194 to such box. My home network uses address space 192.168.*. I have the vpn server using 172.16.*. My work lan uses address space 10.*

My client machine at work runs Mac OS X 10.8 and I am using Tunnelblick as OpenVPN client. Tunnelblick's config file is:

To summarize, first thing is I want to be able to access other machines in the client network while the tunnel is open.

Secondarily, I want to be able to route all traffic via the client network (web browsing, etc), and only use the tunnel to access my machines in the home network to access my files.
