I can connect to the OpenVPN Server configured with Omada Controller, but I can't access the local network 

 

I configured my Client-to-site VPN access and I can connect well (I am testing the connection with my phone not connected to my local area network wifi). 

 

The problem is that I can't access any of the servers located on my local network or the router.

 

I watch and read many tutorials and I don’t see what step may I be missing. I even tried changing the port from UPD to TCP to see if that fixed the situation but the problem persists. 

 

Am I missing something?

 

Info from my setup:

Router: TL-R605 v1.0 Version: TL-R605 v1.0

Switch: SG2008 v4.20 Version: SG2008 v4.20

 

No VLANS, just a simple network configuration.

Local Network: 192.168.50.0/24

VPNNetwork: 192.168.17.0/24

 

VPN Configuration:

Hi @Jenlink 

Please try the full mode when setting the VPN. You can inform us the result if you select full mode.

Hi  @Hank21, I tried full mode too, but the behavior persists. 

 

During this time I have done some other troubleshooting and was able to make it work from the client perspective.

 

I stopped using the officials OpenVPN clients and I started using an open source OpenVPN client on my android phone and after a basic cypher adjustment, I was able to connect to the VPN server, and browse my internal network (HTTP server, windows shares, etc)

 

I did that too on my computer, and I was able to connect too, and browse my server.

 

I don't know why the official Open VPNs clients didn't work with the VPN server, but the other clients work totally fine. Furthermore, I will keep digging about this and provide feedback if I can found the reason why.

  @Jenlink 

 

 

therefore OpenVPN does not work with OpenVPN connect on mobile
