Hello
I'm trying to access computer on a lan with mstsc via openvpn server/client. So I'm trying to make the client access to the server lan and can see others computers if possible but it doesn't works ! 🙁 I followed a lot of tutorial even both howto v1.X and v2 and still doesn't work help me please !! :cry: :cry:
I'm using Openvpn (free) V2.3.6, wich is the last version for now.
My informations :
Actually on windows 7 on each computers i'm using.
The lan is on 192.168.0.X, the computer's host of the server openvpn ip is : 192.168.0.15

Here is my server config file :

topology subnet
port 1194
proto udp
script-security 3
dev tun
ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.key" # This file should be kept secret
dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh1024.pem"
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0" #As said on the howto in order to join subnet on dev tun mode
client-to-client
keepalive 5 30
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 5

client config file :

client
dev tun
proto udp
script-security 3
remote XXXXXXXXX 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\client_test.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\client_test.key"
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 6

The client can successfully connect to the server and got an ip like 10.8.0.50 when the server is 10.8.0.1, can't ping server on client cause of firewall protection don't want to disable it.

I don't understand where i failed, all tutorial ask me this config and it should works !
As you can see i added a route to the ip of the lan where is the computer hosting the server on the config file, saw i should do this on howto v2. For my firewall i got a highly protected one, but I added a nat from XXXX (the ip of my intranet) and link it to the ip of the computer hosting the server ( look like : Source XXXXX destination 192.168.0.15 ).
I also added a "route back" for the lan computer to communicate back to the openvpn client with a route on my firewall.

Please 🙁 help me I did all the tutorials are saying, but i'm still sure I missed something ..
Thanks.

This is a bad choice ..

NOTE: your local LAN uses the extremely common subnet address 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x. Be aware that this might create routing conflicts if you connect to the VPN server from public locations such as internet cafes that use the same subnet.
