Hello, thanks for reading. I'm trying to use OpenVPN to treat my remote Ubuntu server as though it were on my home LAN. I want it to be able to mount my local network drive, and a few other things.
At this point, I can ping the server from systems on my home network, and I can mount my home folder on the server as a Samba share locally. I cannot, however, ping or do anything from the server to my home system. I can ping and access 10.8.0.1 from home. I cannot access home from 10.8.0.1.
I do not have much experience with OpenVPN or setting up these types of things. I've basically patched it all together by Googling, consulting IRC channels, etc. The consensus has been that I needed to set up split tunneling by adding...
route-nopull
route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.252 vpn_gateway
...on the client-side.
At this point, DD-WRT's OpenVPN status tab seems to indicate some kind of success.

Below is my server-side openvpn.conf file:

Another thing I noticed that may or may not be an issue - my server says it has a tun1 and a tun0. tun0 has the IP 10.159.12.1, tun1 has the ip 10.8.0.1. I have no idea why there are two tunnels, or if that is even important.
Thank you very much for reading and helping me out with this. I'm really at a loss, I can't seem to find any answers through Googling. Maybe I lack the vocabulary to do it effectively.
