Connect iPhone to home LAN through 3G

[yakireliyahu87]

hi all,
I've installed an openvpn client on my iphone and managed to get a connection to my VPN server.
my VPN server is also my DLNA server.
what i want to achieve is when i connect with my iphone to my pc, it will get an IP address for my home LAN, so i could reach my DLNA server.
so far i only managed to connect but i cant reach my home net 10.0.0.x, and i only get a 10.8.0.x address.

here's my configuration:
Server Side:

Code: Select all

port 1194
proto udp
dev tap
dev-node Tap-main
ca "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.key"  # This file should be kept secret
dh "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh1024.pem"
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0"

client-to-client

keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3

Client side:

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto udp

remote 10.0.0.6 1194
;remote my-server-2 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert yakir-iphone.crt
key yakir-iphone.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3

Thanks for the helpers!!

hi there,

first always post your configs WITHOUT comments...

are you sure your configs are correct? server uses tap , client uses tun..

did you enable ip forwarding on openvpn server?
did you configured firewall (if any) on openvpn server itself to allow traffic from/to vpn?
did you configured routing correctly so other nodes can route traffic to vpn correctly?

hi Michael,
I uploaded the old client config
here's the updated one

Code: Select all

client

dev tap

dev-node Tap-Main

proto udp

remote yakireliyahu87.no-ip.biz 1194

resolv-retry infinite


nobind

persist-key
persist-tun

ca ca.crt
cert yakir-iphone.crt
key yakir-iphone.key

ns-cert-type server

comp-lzo

verb 3

my server is Windows 7 station, and i enabled ip forwarding. should i have a similar config in the openvpn server config -file as well?

i shut down the firewall.

what do you mean by configured routing correctly?
i added in the server config to push route to my iphone

Code: Select all

push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0"

is that enough?

from your client can you:

ping openvpn server's tun ip?
ping openvpn server's lan ip?
ping any other node on your lan?

can reach all the above (tap, lan, and home router).
i want the client to "think" he's in my home net (10.0.0.x)
can i manage to allocate a virtual interface on my iphone that is in my lan?
the point is that i can use broadcasting and multicast to allow my iphone DLNA client to reach my server seamlessly
thanks for the help again!

wrong config then...

try using bridging mode instead of routing..
