OpenVPN server/client question: How to access NAS has is connected to another OpenVPN server
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 2:13 pm
Greetings,
I am trying to optimize my home setup. I registered an account to ask this question; if it is not appropriate for this sub(forum), please kindly let me know.
I run an OpenVPN server at my router so I can get access to my private network while away (or from work):
all devices at home are on the 192.168.1.* subnet
my router/OpenVPN server is configured to handout 10.8.0.* address when connected.
One of my device at home is a NAS server (192.168.1.250) which runs an OpenVPN client and connects to an external OpenVPN server (slickvpn). On my NAS, I have several daemons running, all of which have access via web interface.
When my NAS is connected to the external OpenVPN server (slickvpn), I cannot access these web interfaces even through I am on the 10.8.0.* subnet. However, I can access these web interfaces if I am on the 192.168.1.* subnet. ssh into the NAS server while on 10.8.0.* subnet is also not possible.
When the NAS is NOT connected to an external OpenVPN server, I can access these web interfaces regardless if I am on the 10.8.0.*/192.168.1.* subnet. I can also ssh into the NAS.
Question: Is there a way to access the NAS while the NAS is connected to an external OpenVPN server while I am (say, at work) connected to my home network through my own OpenVPN server running on my router?
I apologize in advance if these are trivial questions. I am learning OpenVPN as we speak,
regards,
