OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello everyone, i would have some questions.

At The moment our VPN is quite simple:
One Server in a Datacenter as the Main VPN server, and many people with Laptops, connecting with own Certificates with the OpenVPN Client to the Server.

It Looks like this:




Now i want to Connect a whole office with a few Computers to it (there are no servers there, only a cheap router and some notebooks)
so my idea was, i take a router, flash openwrt on it and create following setup:
-every client in the office gets a ip from the vpn
-the router acts as default gateway for every client in the office, but not to the in the rest of the vpn


so it should look like this:


has anyone an idea how this could work ?

this is possible, but why do the clients in the remote office need an IP from the VPN? it's much easier to set up the DD-WRT box to be a local DHCP server AND an OpenVPN client and set up the right routing.
Assigning IPs via the VPN is possible but is trickier and more error prone.
