Hello,
I have a local network 192.168.1.0/24 with the Archer as router (192.168.1.1). In this local network the Archer should act also VPN Server. Open VPN is set up by the following options:
- Service Type: UDP
- Service Port: 1194
- VPN Subnet 10.8.0.0
- Networkmask: 255.255.255.0
- Client Access: home network only
On the remote network 192.168.2.0/24 I have a Linux machine with PFSense (192.168.2.1) installed acting as OpenVPN client. The VPN is set up correctly and connections section showns me the correct Remote IP and 10.8.0.10 as assigned IP.
Pinging 10.8.0.10 from local is working.
The routes are:
| Network Destination | Subnet Mask | Gateway | Interface |
|---|
| 10.8.0.0 |
255.255.255.0 |
10.8.0.2 |
TUN0 |
|
| 10.8.0.2 |
255.255.255.255 |
0.0.0.0 |
TUN0 |
But with this setup I cannot ping any machines from the other network.
With my old Asus router this setup was working properly, I had some other options that I do not have in Archer. Especially I could define the remote network on the local router for the client. So I guess this is what is missign here, but I do not know where I can add the remote network.
I'm also able to connect with my Cell phone over VPN and ping machines in local network.
I also tried to set up the VPN Server with 192.168.2.0 as VPN subnet, but this also did not work.
I hope someone can help me here to give me the hint to make this work, as its very important to me and thank you already in advance.
kind regards
Roger
I did the following (ping) test:
Ping from notebook on my local network to the remote network 10.8.0.10 (this is the virtual IP PFsense shows to me connected). I can also successfully call pfsense web interface over that IP from my local network.
Ping from my Android cell phone connected over openVPN to local network works successfully. There is no firewall/setting blocking the ping.
But if I try to ping from local network to remote 192.168.2.1 (the IP of pfsense in remote network) fails.
Also any pings from remote network (machine with IP 192.168.2.11) to any one in 192.168.1.0 network fails, including the one I could ping from android phone.
The only successful ping from remote network I get is to 10.8.0.10.
