OpenVPN Support Forum

I hope someone can help me with this. I have tried everything I can think of.

I have set up an openvpn server and clien as in this article https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resource ... in-detail/
Its set up exactly as descibed.

Both the server and client are running on Raspberry Pi
From the client side I can access everything on the server network with no problems.

From the server side I can login to my router and can ping the and login to the client Pi but I cannot access any other addresses on the client network.
If I do traceroute it gets to the VPN address on the client then stars out.

If I login to the client via ssh I can ping everything on the client subnet.
I have tried everything I can and checked all the settings many times.

Any help appreciated

Good, this means that the routing has to be correct on both sides.

This sounds like a lack of IP forwarding on the client, or something blocks it in the client firewall. We know your Access Server's firewall, but we don't know your client firewall. If iptables(8) you need to allow tun0 packets in the filter/FORWARD chain.
