OpenVPN routing with different gateways

thinkp4d

Hi there,

I have the following setup:

Device 1:
IP | MASK | GW

LAN: 192.168.0.250 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.0.100
WAN: 82.79.119.161 | 255.255.255.252 | 82.79.119.162

Device 2:
IP | MASK | GW

LAN: 192.168.1.250 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.1.100
WAN: 82.79.119.171 | 255.255.255.248 | 82.79.119.172

I have added:

push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"

in the server config and the ping is working fine between LANs via tun0.
The clients reach the OPENVPN server using the WAN interface. The WANs can ping each other if there's no tun0 up.
My question is: How the route or push route or iroute rules should look like, if I want to ping WANs via tun0? Is that possible?

Thanks a lot! Sorry if my question is newbish 🙂

Sorry, your question is simply to vague ..

--iroute is an internal route used only by openvpn in --mode server
--route is self explanatory

Hi TinCanTech,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is mode server a directive explicitly mentioned anywhere? From my understanding, that's what I'm already using, by having a server with 1194, to which the client connect.

route is self explanatory. I agree.

I will revise my question and come back to you shortly.

All options have a full description in the manual.

Without your config file this could mean many things ..

I presume you mean --server ip netmask .. if so then yes, --iroute will have meaning to your server.

No problem ..

If you take your time to document your question then you may even work out the answer for yourself 😉
