OpenVPN server cannot access to client network

Post by tito-fr » Sun Feb 10, 2019 1:34 am

Hello everyone,

I have a problem: after configuring and checking several times my configuration, the OpenVPN server can not ping the client, and therefore access the client network.

Here is my diagram:
Client Network 1 (192.168.2.0) ==> Internet <== Server Network (192.168.1.0)

Client Network 1:
- OpenVPN Server: 192.168.2.2
- Gateway: 192.168.2.1

Server Network:
- OpenVPN Server: 192.168.1.2
- Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Server Configuration (server.conf):

server.conf
port XXX
proto udp
dev tun
ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.crt
