Hi guys,
I'm running an OpenVPN server on my router, but I'm not quite sure how to access my samba share on my freenas box?
My client is a Windows 8.1 machine and I'm using the map network drive application. I'm just not sure what the address string would be.
My VPN network is 10.8.8.0, the lan address of the freenas box is 192.168.1.2 and the file path of the samba share on the Freenas box is /mnt/Movies_and_Music/Media_1/Movies
I'm just not sure how to put all that together and dig down to that folder
any ideas?
Thanks

Sorry please ignore.
It was \\ipoffreenasbox\sharename
I was overcomplicating something very simple 🙂

THank you!
This was very helpful, and allowed me to access my shares, but I'm still confused. It thought the point of VPN was to appear as a computer on the network. My IP address using OpenVPN is the same as it I were right there on the LAN. When I'm at home, I just us //freenas/[share name] to see my shares. Why when using OpenVPN do I need to use a different format?
