How to access windows-share on work LAN via OpenVPN?
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2019 8:43 pm
Hello community,
I want to connect to my Synology DS218 (windows-share) via openvpn from abroad. I need this to use a Document-Management-Software. This DMS-Software has a database which is stored on a Windows share called \\work-server
But I use a OpenVPN-Server on a Synology DS112+ (OpenVPN-Server)
My Hardware:
Please look at the sketch in the link.
------ additional Infos: ------
Notebook:
Win 10 Pro,
IP 192.168.51.43
(in Work-network)
This is the Notebook that I want to use abroad.
My Test Setup to simulate a connection from a “Hotel” is an Android Smartphone.
I use 4G Vodafone Network with WiFi-tethering to connect to my work-network.
On the Win 10 Pro Notebook: I’m able to connect the OpenVPN GUI Software and the icon is green.
When I access a website to check my ISP + Public IP it shows the ISP Provider Telefonica o2. So far, so good.
My Notebook/Windows WiFi-Adapter gets an DHCP-IP from the Android Smartphone
DHCP: on
IP: 192.168.43.44
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.43.1
DNS: 192.168.43.1
The virtual TAP-Windows Adapter V9 shows:
IP: 10.12.0.6
Subnet: 255.255.255.252
(OpenVPN-)DHCP-Server: 10.12.0.5
-----------------------------------------------
My question: How can I access the Synology DS218 (windows-share) via the Synology DS112+ (OpenVPN-Server)
How do connect the 192.168.51.xx-IP-Range on my remote Client Notebook. I’m not able to connect the Windows-share via \\work-server in Windows-Explorer.
What steps are needed to let it work?
Thank you for your help and time.
Regards,
Tom
