Topic: OpenVPN

[eiceic]

I set up OpenVPN on my 6.0.1 sme -- I can connect to the server just fine, but I can not connect to any other PC in that local network.

With the built-in PPTP VPN, I could just connect to the server and then I would be able to vnc into any computer in the local network.  How do I get this ability with the OpenVPN?   Is it a setting in the Server or the VPN Client?

Thanks,

This is most likely due to routing tables on the SME server or default gateway for the pc's inside your LAN.

If the clients are getting IP addess from the server (that terminates OpenVPN) then it is usually the default gateway - if not make sure it will be.

Secondly ensure that the route in the server.conf is set correctly

 push "dhcp-option DOMAIN   yourdomain.com"                # push the DNS domain suffix
push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.1"                      # push primary DNS entry to the openvpn clients.
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1"    # add route to to protected network
