I'm new to this forum and I appreciate any help you can offer. That said, I'm running an Open VPN server on my TP-Link 1750 using the native firmware, Archer A7. I have it set up and running. It allows remote users to connect and access the internet, but I also want them to be able to access the LAN and stream from a file server. I haven't set up a dedicated file server yet and I am using my desktop as a stopgap until I do.
The problem is that I cannot communicate between the subnet that the VPN provides and the subnet that my LAN is using. I've tried using routing tables, but I'm not very experienced and can't seem to get it to work. It's running on a Tun0 interface and I don't seem to have the option to change it to TAP. The original idea was to bridge the subnets, but because it's running Tun, that's not an option, from what I understand.
My routing table on the SOHO router right now looks as follows:
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 LAN
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2 Tun0
192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 Tun0
I have excluded the wan inputs for obvious reasons.
My question is this: How do I allow remote users to use the internet through the VPN while simultaneously allowing them to access the LAN?

There is probably a setting for this in your router menus.

After further research, I realize that I cannot configure the settings in the router nor on my local routing table in such a way as to allow split tunneling, IP forwarding, NAT, or any other solution that would allow a client to access the LAN. My router, which is hosting the VPN, does not allow static routing using the tun0 interface and I cannot change the interface to TAP. I will likely be setting up an external or virtual Ubuntu system running the Access Server package. Thanks for your input, TinCanTech. I appreciate it and I did check all of the settings in my router, but to no avail. Have a good day, everybody.
