Can't establish connection to a VPN client
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 11:03 am
Hi everyone!
I'm using OpenVPN on a ubuntu server for several months with no problem and with any need of help (since the documentation is full and complete!).
Unfortunately now I need your help.
I need, from a windows PC on my LAN, to connect to a process running on a windows VPN client PC (172.16.1.0/24 subnet).
I'm correctly pinging VPN client machine both from OpenVPN server and LAN client (see last example of this article: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... AndRouting) and vice versa, but I can't connect to any service running on the VPN Client (no remote desktop, no shares, any listening service) even with local vpn client firewall off.
So I'm wondering...if there's no firewall blocking a connection, and since I have a route from my LAN to all VPN clients...why shouldn't this work?
Below server and client configuration:
client conf:
Kind regards.
