Routing back to an openVPN Device

jthompson633

Hello,

I am creating a central antivirus server that communicates with hosts across various networks. For every site I have a site-site VPN at the gateway level. We use OpenVPN-AS for all of our mobile clients, this works great for communicating back to our local lan and central server. The problem lies with communicating from the server back to the client computer.

A tracert example from the clients side would look like:

Client OpenVPN IP = 5.10.0.1 (Static)

Tracing route to 192.168.18.55
5.5.8.1 (the OpenVPN-AS gateway private address)
10.99.1.49 (the clients gateway)
192.168.18.55 (anti-virus server)

My question is how do I route back to 5.10.0.1 from the clients lan (10.99.1.0)? I have no issues reaching the endpoint server (192.168.18.55) from the mobile device. Is there a specific configuration on the openVPN-AS (10.99.1.50 in this case) that would allow traffic from lan devices back to the mobile device (5.10.0.1)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

Your question is badly explained and I cannot determine exactly what routes you are missing but this HOWTO may help:
