Well hopefully someone can assist me in this. Basically what I'm trying to do is setup a server to allow the clients to connect to it and access a few computers on the servers network. I followed the how to and have a running server and can connect clients. But I'm not to keen on getting connections to access 192.168.1.100. Which is a survaliance server with the option to view the cameras from anywhere on the network. So how wold I go about setting up the server to let the clients access that IP. If you need more info just ask and I'll put it up I'm currently using my phone to ask for help and won't be at the computer for a bit.

Have your tried adding push route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 to your server config?

If you are running the server on linux, check your iptables to see if you have allowed access for OpenVPN to access the network and make sure ip forwarding is enabled.

Are you running your server in tap or tun mode? Bridging (tap) will allow clients to connect more readily than tun which requires more configuration. I would recommend tun in most cases. But if this is a tunnel just for you to connect to your cameras then it may make things easier (at least until you get more familiar with the tunnel configurations.
If this is something that you are doing for other people, I would recommend using 'dev tun'.
