Asus router's OpenVPN can't find the LAN device

Post by frank841220 » Mon Oct 31, 2022 5:44 am

Hi, everyone
I’m using ASUS AX300 as my router, connected with two devices
(Synology, Ubuntu-PC, MOXA)
And its self-build OpenVPN of the router.
I’ve set up a private ubuntu server in our office as IP: 192.168.2.80
Hence I can connect my server and enter the Synology & MOXA in the local network.
But when I connect to the OpenVPN at home,
I can also connect to Synology & MOXA, but I can’t find the ubuntu server whether I ping it or open the IP address 192.168.2.80(:22).
I also set up a DNS IP xxx.xxx.1.10, xxx.xxx.13.10
as well as my Ubuntu PC, but it’s not work

Hi,

Have you tried disabling the firewall on Ubuntu?
I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

Yes, the firewall of Ubuntu has been turn off.
I still can't not connect the Ubuntu's default page IP: 192.168.2.80 from OpenVPN connection of ASUS.
I still feel confused

Please post the configuration file and a log at --verb 4 of the client, see here:
viewtopic.php?t=22603#p68963

You have selected "Manage Client-Specific Options", we need to see those options.

Avoid using compression.
Any reason for using TCP?

After changing options you need to re-export the client config file, then try again.
