Re: Can’t connect to printers when connected via open vpn
Hi,
Most probably, the Access Server is also pushing the same smaller network/subnet where your local network is located.
For example, if your printer has an IP of 192.168.1.100/23 and your Access Server is also pushing the same smaller network like 192.168.1.0/24 to VPN users, that would cause an issue due to subnet overlapping. Can you clarify if what you experience is related to my example?
