OpenVPN Support Forum

I'm trying to set up a (in my opinion) fairly simple OpenVPN server and client, but I'm failing and I'm not sure why.

I have an Ubuntu machine with 2 ethernet ports. eth0 has an ip of 192.168.1.10 and has UDP port 1194 forwarded to it by the router at 192.168.1.1. eth1 has 192.168.82.5 and is connected to another LAN with other 192.168.82.x machines on it. OpenVPN uses 10.85.230.0/24 for its IP subnet. I'm pushing 192.168.82.0/24 to the client and I've enable ip_forward. I have also set up a static route on my 192.168.82.1 router so that packets for 10.85.230.0/24 are sent to 192.168.82.5.

I've set up a test client on Mac OS X, and I'm able to bring the VPN up. From the client, which is 10.85.230.2, I can ping 10.85.230.1, and I can ping 192.168.82.5, but I'm unable to ping 192.168.82.4 (which is another machine on the .82 network).

My server config is (comments have been removed): My client config is: What am I missing?

Thanks!

Check firewall on 192.168.82.4

I can ping 192.168.82.4 (in fact any of the machines that I have on 192.168.82.x) from 192.168.82.5, just not from the client machine at the other end of the OpenVPN tunnel.

Thanks.

Another bit I just discovered, I can ping 192.168.82.1 as well as 192.168.82.5 from the client, but not 192.168.82.4, .3, or .2, all of which I can ping from the machine that is the openvpn server.
