Hello - hope someone can help! I'm very new to all this stuff so apologies if I have missed something obvious! I have a windows 7 machine running openvpn server on my home network. Home Network - 192.168.1.0 Router - 192.168.1.1 Server IP - 192.168.1.48 Server issues ip's - 192.168.137.X As an example - accessing my router at 192.168.1.1 works fine whilst I am on 3g and certain wifi networks, however as soon as I am on a wireless network with the same subnet I cannot access any of my server side LAN. i.e. if I am at my parents house and I type in 192.168.1.1 I end up on their router config page (obviously their router is at IP 192.168.1.1 as well!) Server Config; [quote] port 1194 proto udp dev tun dev-node MyTap server 192.168.137.0 255.255.255.0 ca ca.crt cert server.crt key server.key dh dh1024.pem ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt push "redirect-gateway def1" push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222" #OpenDNS servers push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220" keepalive 10 120 comp-lzo persist-key persist-tun status openvpn-status.log verb 3 [/quote] Client Config; [quote] client dev tun dev-node MyTap proto udp remote ***External IP details deleted*** 1194 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun ***embedded CA details removed*** ***embedded certificate details removed*** ***embedded key details removed*** ns-cert-type server comp-lzo verb 3 explicit-exit-notify 2 ping 10 ping-restart 60 ;register-dns route-method exe route-delay 2 [/quote] I have tried adding push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" & push "redirect-gateway local" but neither made any difference I appreciate it is probably something very simple that needs to be changed but I have no idea! I know that the VPN is functioning correctly in all other circumstances as my IP mirrors that of my home network and I can usually access my network shares etc. I have looked into bridging however it is not possible to use TAP connections with iPhone/iPad :( If there is a solution is it then possible to only have it forced onto specific clients? Reason I say this is because when I connect via my laptop at work it is handy being able to access my Home and Work LAN's at the same time and if possible I would like to keep the laptop set up the same. Thanks in advance! A7X

Hi Debbie,

Thank-you very much for your response. I will make the changes as recommended.
Obviously using OpenVPN in the wild there is a possibility that I may encounter this issue again. Is there any way of avoiding this altogether or is it something that on the very-odd occasion I would have to put up with?

Thanks again
