Configure LRT214 for OpenVPN with macOS Client

Post by DonBower » Mon May 15, 2023 10:09 pm

Greetings all;
I have an LRT214 Router that sits between my ISP and my Netgear WiFi Router.
The Netgear Router is configured for the 192.168.2.0/24 network, with it's address as 192.168.2.1, and is a DHCP server for the network. There are a few Raspberry Pis on the network at various 192.168.2.x IP Addresses.
It's WAN IP Address is 192.168.1.102, which it receives from the LRT214 as a DHCP Client.

The LRT214 is configured for the 192.168.1.0/24 network, with it's address as 192.168.1.1, and is a DHCP server for that network. The WAN IP is obtained from the ISP as a DHCP address.

In my OpenVPN Server configuration, I have the following values:
GLOBAL CONFIGURE SETTINGS
Authentication Type: Certificate
Server Network Address: 172.31.0.0 (Virtual IPv4 Network Address, Default 172.31.0.0)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Protocol: TCP
Port: 1194 (Range: 1-65535, Default 1194)
Encryption: AES-256

ADVANCED CONFIGURE SETTINGS
Tunnel Mode: Split Tunnel
Security IP Address: 192.168.2.0
Security Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Domain Name: ag6hq.net
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS:
WINS Server:

I can connect, via a Netgear M1 Mobile Hotspot, which is configured on the 192.168.3.0/24 network, but I don't seem to be able to reach anything on the 192.168.2.0/24 network.
I have the following Route Table:

Code: Select all
