Redirecting Client traffic access through Server (Asus + DLink)

Pseudomax

Hi

I would be extremely grateful for some help here! I have spent literally days trying to get this right!!

My setup is:
- I have a Asus Router with Merlin Firmware that is running the OpenVPN Server (local subnet is 192.168.1.0 and VPN subnet pushed is 192.168.10.0)
- D-Link Router flashed with DD-WRT to run the client OpenVPN to connect (permanently) to the Asus Router (client subnet is 192.168.0.0). This router will ultimately be at a place of work for me that is outside the country of the Asus router. This router is also setup as a Repeater Bridge to connect to a local wireless network that is secure (I pay the subscription costs) but is not managed by myself.
- Client WAN: 94.11.xx.xx
- Server WAN: 79.69.xx.xx

What I am trying to setup is the opportunity to securely access my home network and at the same time on occasions choose to stream some of my entertainment from services that geolocate to where my home (and Asus router) are located. Let me also state that I am aware that the subnets used are common, but I have no plans to use the server beyond this single connection, so I am not expecting public hotspots to complicate my setup.

So after a lot of trial & error (more error) I have successfully connected to the client to the server but regardless of settings used I seem unable to get client to redirect all internet traffic. I realise the screenshot below shows this option unselected, but I have tried with it selected and only unselected it more latterly as I added the additional config below (specifically push "redirect-gateway def1"). Let me add that I have tried all sorts of variations on this theme. I also would appreciate some help getting tls up and running but my main issue is the traffic (so I can continue 'learning' if this is outside the scope of my post here!). Let me also add that my current configuration does not seem to allow me to see my local (server side) computers ... but a previous attempt to bridge using TAP rather than TUN was not successful either!!

So any help gratefully received!

I have attached (redacted):
- the DD-WRT OpenVPN (Client) settings
- the DD-WRT OpenVPN Log
- the Asus exported settings file (.ovpn file)
- the Asus OpenVPN settings
- the Asus OpenVPN Server Status

I may well have missed something so please ask for any other details needed. (I can't state enough ... any help very appreciated!!)

Hi, anyone willing to give me any support?

Pseudomax

I was thinking as well ... would it be better to only forward all DNS traffic if the geolocated streaming requirement only needs DNS location?

TinCanTech

Post your client log at --verb 4 and your server log if you can ..

Pseudomax

Thank you TinCanTech ... I think I have given what you need ...

If all you want is access to your home LAN then you only need to push the route for that network .. see:
HOWTO: Expanding the scope of the VPN to include additional machines

If you do want all your traffic to go via the tunnel then that is what you have done .. see:
HOWTO: Routing all client traffic (including web-traffic) through the VPN

As for what problem you have .. I have no idea without proper documentation.

Hi

Yes I have read (already) the two links you provided! It is the second scenario I am trying to setup. Yet when I link a machine to the client router I am provided a WAN address of the the client's local gateway not the Server's gateway?! I assume this is incorrect as I want the client network to use the server's gateway ...

What additional documentation do you need? The images in the first post are screenshots of all the configurations ...

This is the essence of your problem ... How are you testing this idea ?

By the way, am I able to generate my certificates on a Windows machine and then transfer them to the routers I will be using as server and client? I am sure this a very basic question but it's not obvious to me as a very new OpenVPN user!

Thank you again ...

Yes you can transfer certificates and keys as you describe .. just NOT over the internet.
