I have Openvpn as a server running pretty good on my Asus router but have a problem here with Windows 10 shares once connected to my home network. This is my setup:
I have OpenVPN configured as TUN on the Asus profile. This is because I cannot have TAP configured when I connect with my Android phone. I created a firewall rule on the server in my home allowing 192.168.2.0/24 on SMB Inbound (Private profile). All good, I can access the shares with my Android phone. (my local lan is 192.168.1.0/24)
BUT
If I install OpenVPN on my laptop and connect to the same router remotely, I cannot access the shares on my server in the home. Is this because I have TUN instead of TAP configured on the Asus router profile? Is it correct to assume that if Im using a Windows 10 machine to connect to my local network I have to have TAP configured on the Asus router? Obviously this creates problems because I cannot simply swap configurations on the router easily, depending on what client I want to access my home network.
I also made sure file and printer sharing was on also, as well as set to Private profile on the laptop.
Thanks for any help.

You can access to ip by IP only.If you want by name you need to have WINS server running and that all you need .
Connecting to file server over vpn only by enter ip or name and press enter . You can't connect by browser networks windows and it willnot work

Ok got it....no Network browsing using Network browser.
In order to open a shared folder using IP address, what is the syntax? For example one of my folders names is "STORAGE2"
Server address is 192.168.1.64

In window open address bar and enter this
\\192.168.1.64
