Unable to connect via Open VPN to Home Network
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi All,
I have recently purchased ER605 and wanted to create Open VPN so that I can access my home network.
The setup at my home is 2 iSP Router --> ER605 --> Asus AC3200 --> Clients
I am trying to set up Open VPN on ER605 and below is the configuration.
Now when I try to connect via the OVPN profile outside the network it doesn't connect.
Here is the config
With the above config I get remote 192.168.1.54 1194 in the VPN config file.
ER605 gateway/dns 192.168.1.1
What am I missing here.
The VPN connects when on local but doesn't connect when I am on diff network.
Any suggestion welcome.
If I understand correctly, your current topology is:
ISP Routers----ER605(OpenVPN server), and here is a client which is out of ISP routers need to connect to VPN Server.
This is what I call a double NAT. Your VPN client wants to connect to the ER605 server, but because the ER605's IP address is behind the ISP router, the VPN client cannot see it and is blocked by the ISP router's NAT.
This would require an open port entry on top of the ISP router. The open port feature is the same principle as my router ER7206 for example (Virtual Servers).
