OpenVPN for Private Network
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2021 2:03 pm
Hello everybody,
I am currently trying to set up a private LAN for friends & family via OpenVPN, but I'm biting my teeth.
I get a connection to my server and pinging to other clients or to the server and each other also works, as does the direct file access.
But the network is recognized as a public network in Windows, both at the client and at the server. I tried to change this via the registry, it worked but only resulted in it becoming an unidentified network with the connectivity: No network access.
- The funny thing about it: The network access works.
During my research on the Internet I came across various solutions, such as "pushing a 0.0.0.0 route" but unfortunately none of them worked so far.
That's why I have to ask you for help and I hope someone has a solution.
As I said, I only want a LAN network for file sharing and gaming, I don't want to have the Internet routed from the server to the clients, and I don't want to hide any IPs either .
Here are my configs:
Server.ovpn
SERVER CONFIG:
port 1194
proto udp4
dev tun
ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.key"
dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh.pem"
server 192.168.143.0 255.255.255.0
keepalive 10 120
cipher AES-256-GCM
client-to-client
user nobody
group nogroup
push "route 192.168.143.0 255.255.255.0"
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3
explicit-exit-notify 1
client-config-dir "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ccd"
ifconfig-pool-persist "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\log\\ipp.txt"
Client.ovpn
vCLIENT CONFIG:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote XXX.de 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client1.crt
key client1.key
