Communicating to the clients nettwork

[deleted]

I have connectes two PC's via OpenVPN Access server. The PC's hase address 10.1.1.5 and 10.1.1.6 in the tunnel. (But physically in two different bulidings). In the same network (LAN) as 10.1.1.5 there is a IP camera (or some other equipment). Camera has a static address 10.1.1.4 (?!). Is it possible in some way to communicate from PC 10.1.1.6 (LAN B) to camera IP 10.1.1.4 on lan A? (The camara has no OpenVPN client.)

Maybe the camera should not be given a static adress belonging to the tunnel, but rather an address om the pysical network, lets say 192.168.1.4 (?!) Then there might be needed some kind of routing on the OpenVPN Access server to send the trafic via 10.1.1.5 to 192.168.1.4? Could this be "the right way"? If so, how to do that?

Could this descpription give the right solution?

Thanks for answer!

Just now I am testing with Windows so it is not a problem to configure IP adresses, and of course there were two LAN's before clients on those LAN's were connectet via OpenVPN Access server. Connection between those clients works fine.

I guess the question actually is: How to route traffic between those two LAN's.

Hi Arne,

The bottom line seems to be: change one of those LAN addresses. You can't easily have different routes to the same IP network, in Access Server.

The OpenVPN Cloud service, OTOH, has a hack to do this:
User Guide - Remote access to private networks with overlapping IP address space

Still, RFC 1918 is plenty big enough to give no excuse for any organization of any size to have overlapping LAN networks.
