I am working on building a VPN bridge using OpenVPN trying to solve a problem i am having at a location.
I have minimal knowledge of VPN, my Astaro(Sophos) firewall makes pretty light work of L2TP and redbox connections for me.
So this time I am using a pfSense firewall/router, with OpenVPN server running. when using the windows app from a remote location i can connect to the server, and ping local destinations on the network. hurray.
Second part is a Netgear routing running adv tomato software, with the OpenVPN Client enabled. the client connects great, but does not pass traffic through the hosts connected to it, as i type this i wonder if this is an issue i would be better off posting at tomatos forums (which i will). Just hoping someone here might have an idea of what im dealing with.
The end goal is any device connected to this netgear router should automatically pass its traffic through the OpenVPN connection. The literature i can find doesnt say i need to do anything else but might there be some NAT or other routing that needs to take place behind the scenes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
