Cannot Ping Client from it's LAN when connected

Post by johnied » Wed Aug 28, 2019 10:52 am

Hello,

I have successfully configured an autoreconnect openvpn client, on a raspberry pi. It connects on reboot and everything.
But when it connects to the remote VPN server (via wifi but I don't think it's relevant), I cannot access it from my local Network with it's IP.
On the other hand, if I connect to a pc on the remote network(OpenVPN server network) I can access it with it's VPN virtual address.

Is there a config parameter which allows me to ping the Raspberry PI from it's LAN, when the VPN connection is active?

Of course, when the VPN connection is not active, everything is working normally (I can ping RPI from the LAN).

Thank you in advance,
John

P.S. My current client config:

Client Config

persist-tun
persist-key
cipher AES-128-CBC
ncp-ciphers AES-128-GCM
auth SHA1
tls-client
client
remote ***.***.***.*** ****** udp
lport 0
remote-cert-tls server
dev tun
verb 3
float
resolv-retry infinite
ping-timer-rem
keepalive 30 120

Hello again,

I forgot to mention that the OpenVPN server is a pfsense box. That is why I cannot post the server config.

Thank you again for your time.
