OpenVPN Support Forum

I can connect to OpenVPN server running on my ASUS home router and I can access the Internet through this VPN connection but I cannot access my ASUS router control panel over wifi.

I'm using OpenVPN on iOS 9.3, Tunnelblick or Viscosity on Max OSX 10.11.4.

On my iphone I can access my router control panel at http://192.168.1.1 when using cellular 3G.

I cannot access my ASUS router or the USB drive connected to this router when on my son's WiFi. I changed my son's local router IP to avoid this conflict.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Gene

Please post your configs.

See this:
HOWTO: Expanding the scope of the VPN to include additional machines

Also,

• NOTE: your local LAN uses the extremely common subnet address 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x. Be aware that this might create routing conflicts if you connect to the VPN server from public locations such as internet cafes that use the same subnet.

Never use 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 (or other common subnets) for your OpenVPN Server LAN

• You are advised to change your server LAN to a more unique RFC1918 compliant subnet. f.e 192.168.143.0/24

Also, ensure IP forwarding is enabled on your server.

Many thanks for the detailed link and info. I was able to access the router control page by translating the address to the router supplied VPN subnet.
