I have some issuers with a client that wont connect to the server. All clients are configured in the same way and all of them is connecting fine except a few of them due to some network issues.
Open VPN is installed on a Windows XP computer and connects to the server via a router, the router is connected to a local network that is connected to internet via a firewall. So there is two local networks involved, my network and the local network connecting my router to internet
The VPN server is using 10.8.0.1 in the VPN tunnel. The router is set to use 192.168.20.x in my local network and the wan-port on this router is on 192.168.100.x. However if i ping 10.8.0.1 when the VPN is NOT connected something is responding from the WAN side of the router.
This preventing OPEN VPN from connecting. If the router is connected directly to Internet it works fine, if the 10.8.x.x is removed from the network on the wan side of the router it connects fine.
The problem in this case is that I have very small possibilities to do any changes to the local network between my router and the internet.
I have no need to access anything on this network, all I am interested in is to get my VPN up and running regardless off how this network is configured.
How do I configure Open VPN to ignore the network connecting my router to internet?
Thanks.
