Cant access home network although connected to VPN

theenforcer

Hi,

Im really new to rPi & OpenVPN.

But with the help of YouTube and some friends I have managed to install OpenVPN to one of my Pis and somehow, connect to it using the OpenVPN client from an Android phone.

It connects up fine, and the var/log/openvpn-status.log shows the phone connecting from an outside IP address. (WiFi on phone is OFF and data connection is ON).

Once connected, if I go to google on my phone and ask it what my IP address is, it loads up with my domestic external IP address. Which I can only assume means that the phone is using the OpenVPN client to go to my DDNS site, into my router, forwarded to the pi and back out again.
If I open something like a file manager however, and attempt to navigate to something on my home network - say music (ES FILE MANAGER>NETWORK>LAN>FILESERVER) then it just hangs and nothing loads.

What have I overlooked?

Thanks in advance
