Home Network Access

[deleted]

Hi, and pardon my noobness.

When I'm at home on my LAN, my laptop can see my desktop PC via Windows Explorer/Network. I want to mirror this connection via VPN when connecting remotely.

I have OpenVPN on my ASUS 68U router and the OpenVPN client on my Win10 laptop. The OpenVPN Server interface is based on TUN. I can make the connection successfully but I see nothing when I go to Windows Explorer/Network.

How should I be making this connection so I can ultimately RDP into my home desktop via OpenVPN?

Thanks.

You need to read these carefully:

HOWTO: Expanding the scope of the VPN to include additional machines
HOWTO: Routing all client traffic (including web-traffic) through the VPN
