Hi All,
I am in need of some expertise. I am average when it comes to networking so hopefully we can figure out a solution. I have a primary router (Netgear WNDR4500) and a OpenVPN router (WRT54GS running Tomato v1.28.7633.3-Toastman firmware). I have port forwarded 1194 from the Netgear router to the Tomato router. I have been able to successfully configure my OpenVPN router using TAP, which allows me get an IP of 192.168.1.0/24. However, I would like to be able to use TUN as the Interface Type to allow my other devices (iPad/Android) to use OpenVPN without having to root/jailbreak. When I change my settings to use TUN, the IP address automatically changes to 10.8.0.0/24 and I am able to connect successfully and can access the Tomato router, but I can not access other devices on the LAN of 192.168.1.0/24. I have a server, and other machines on my home network, and would like to be able to route from 10.8.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 and be able to use all my devices, but I am only able to use the TAP interface type, which is unsupported without jailbreaking/rooting on my other devices.
Last Note: I am able to access the OpenVPN router when connected via a 10.8.0.0/24 IP address, but can not access any of the other machines at home, not even the main Netgear Router.
Again, Thank you in advance for all of your help.
Best Regards,

Hi,
There are a number of reasons why this could fail.
But my first question is, why oh why do you have two routers with nat after each other?
you mention you already run a server at home, why don't you run openvpn on that? Get rid of one of the two routers an make your life easier 😉
Anyway, do your clients have a route in their routing table pointing 192.168.1.0/24 over the vpn gw?
You probably need to 'export' that subnet to your clients
