OpenVPN connection, the opposite

I need some advice for this type of use.
Usually the PC named A activates a connection with the OpenVPN server named B, then through the VPN, the PC A is able to connect to the PC named C.
I need to do the opposite.
PC A connects to server B, but once the VPN is active, PC C will be able to connect to PC A.
I can't figure out how to make this connection and how to set up the network.

Hi,
Try to describe the setup more accurately, network wise.
Is PC C
behind the OpenVPN server?
If I understand your question correctly start reading here first:

Now I read your link.
About the network.
Code: Select all
PC_C ------------------- Server_B - - - - - - - - VPN - - - - - - - - PC_A
192.168.100.50 192.168.100.11 Tunnel 10.1.1.0 192.168.200.100 (its IP in its Network)
Remote LAN 192.168.100.100 (Its IP in Remote Network)
calls
Server_B to start the VPN
With the VPN started,
PC_C connects to
PC_A

Looks like you want tap (layer 2).
Do you really need that or would tun (layer 3) suffice?
Normally it is advised against so I never bothered looking into it.
If you really need layer 3 someone will probably chime in as I cannot help you with that.
If you already have a working setup then post some info on that:
