openvpn server on windows pc that is not the LAN gateway

[jamesk6423]

I'm hoping someone can help me with the routes I need to push for my setup. I have OpenVPN server installed on a windows 10 PC on the local LAN subnet of 192.168.200.0/24. The computer running openvpn server has a LAN ip of 192.168.200.75 the gateway on that LAN is 192.168.200.1. The VPN client subnet is 192.168.222.0/24. I can connect to the openvpn server from the openvpn client app on IOS but I cannot ping any devices on the local LAN subnet of 192.168.200.0/24 from the IOS device. I have setup OpenVPN several times in the past without issue but in those cases, the OpenVPN server resided on a pfsense box that was also the gateway for the local LAN. In this case, I think my problem lies with the OpenVPN server not being the gateway for the local LAN.

I have tried adding the line:

push "route 192.168.200.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.200.1" to the server config file but that did not allow the VPN client to ping or access any devices on the local LAN subnet of 192.168.200.0/24. In this configuration, what routes would I need to push to allow the vpn clients on the subnet 192.168.222.0/24 to access the local LAN subnet of 192.168.200.0/24 when the OpenVPN server is not the local LAN gateway (local LAN gateway is 192.168.200.1)? Thanks for any help you can provide, I've been pulling my hair out with this!

make sure you enable forwarding on that Win10 PC !
Via PS you will need to:

Code: Select all

Set-NetIPInterface -Forwarding Enabled
