OpenVPN with Windows Clients

[mnorgate]

I have setup an OpenVPN server on my ubuntu machine and I am trying to connect from some Windows machines. The Windows machines connect to the vpn perfectly but are unable to access any network resources because the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.252 rather that 255.255.255.0

I am a bit of a newbie and have just been following online tutorials to get everything up and running but I dont understand why the wrong subnet is being used and how I fix it

Server IP Address is:

10.202.194.198

hi there,

add this to your server config

push "route 10.202.194.0 255.255.255.0"

also enable ip forwarding on your server
restart the openvpn service and try again.

ps: for testing setup your pcs inside your lan to use as gateway the 10.202.194.198.
