I'm trying to setup OpenVPN for both internet and LAN access, so I can access some lan network shares of mine while traveling. So far, I haven't been able to find the answer I need in documentation and forums, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious at this point, so wanted to ask for help.
I have an ASUS RT-AX88U router, that I'm configuring OpenVPN on. The router is using Asuswrt-Merlin.
My LAN is: 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Here's screenshots of my VPN server and VPN client settings:
The client config file for OpenVPN contains the following, minus the certs of course:
Client Config
# Config generated by Asuswrt-Merlin 388.4, requires OpenVPN 2.4.0 or newer.
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 71.9.245.5 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
float
ncp-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:AES-256-CBC:AES-128-CBC:CHACHA20-POLY1305
keepalive 15 60
auth-user-pass
remote-cert-tls server
I've tried different push commands, different IP ranges, and I can connect to the OpenVPN server and browse the internet fine, but I cannot access local network shares over the VPN no matter what I do. Any advice would be really appreciated, thank you!
