Can I make VPN Clients available to LAN computers

gp

I had a question here: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?p=72105

It led to this maybe not being possible, so I figured this would be the best place to ask.

Is it possible to connect to clients from the lan side of the VPN? I need to be able to remotely service some mobile computers. I was hoping that OpenVPN was my solution because it is baked into my router.

So I want "foo" to connect as a client to my VPN. Then I want workstation "bar" on the LAN the VPN is granting "foo" access for to be able to remote desktop into "foo".

Is this possible using OpenVPN? If not, can you point me towards something that may be more appropriate?

This is exactly my current setup.

Using Shibby's tomato open-source firmware with OpenVPN 2.3.2 installed onto the local gateway wireless router (OpenVPN server) and onto the remotely located wireless router (OpenVPN client). Using TAP UDP connection, since it is layer2 all clients (wireless or wired) remotely located and connecting to the remote wireless router act as if they are connected locally into the local gateway router.

Therefore, RDP, windows files share, ect. act seamlessly with local computers interacting with the remotely located PC's behind the remotely located wireless router running OpenVPN! 😃
