Hello,
I've been trying to research this and troubleshoot for a few days to no avail so if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a few machines at home, one is an ubuntu 14.04 server that serves up media and a personal cloud, another is a gaming pc running windows 8.1, an htpc running ubuntu 14.10 for watching movies in the den, and a headless raspberry pi that has a permanent VPN connection to my Private Internet Access VPN service. Usually all I do w/ this Pi is access Transmission Web GUI to add torrents for download.
All machines are directly behind an Asus RT-AC66R router. When I'm not home, I'd like to be able to access my home network machines remotely and securely, so I set up an OpenVPN server using the router's built in OpenVPN setup. It works great, and after much tinkering I was able to successfully connect to my home network and route my traffic through my OpenVPN server and also connect to LAN devices behind the router.
One thing though... I cannot for the life of me figure out why, but I can't connect to the raspberry pi remotely. From any local machine it can be pinged at it's local address (192.168.1.120) but it cannot be pinged through OpenVPN. I can ping any other machines at 192.168.1.105, 192.168.1.110, etc. etc. on the local network remotely.

I'm usually pretty tech saavy but this has gotten the better of me. If anyone has any suggestions, again, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
