AXE75, OpenVPN and access to LAN machines

Model: Archer AXE75  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.9 Build 20231115 rel.37295(4555)

Hi, 

 

I would like to have access to the LAN machines when connected from outside on the LAN where the router is serving the OpenVPN service. 

Now, I can connect to the OpenVPN service alright and traffic goes through the VPN as expected (I have configured Internet and Home Network). However, I cannot access any of the machines on the LAN. 

Can't send WOL packets and have no access to the machines' shared drives. 

I have tried messing around with the static routes on the router, and on the openvpn config file, but no joy there. What am I doing wrong? 

the conf file looks like this

client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
remote-cert-tls server
persist-key
persist-tun
remote my_public_ip 1194
route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.29

Hi,

 

I don't know about the WOL, but for access to the machines on the LAN I suggest you do the following test.

 

- Prepare your VPN client and connect it to the VPN server of the AXE75. 
- Now completely switch off the firewall of the machine on the LAN that you want to access and then test whatever didn't work before. 
- After the test switch the firewall back on.

 

The firewall in Windows can be switched off and on with a mouse click, in Linux you will probably need to enter some commands.

 

In case you were able to access the machine on the LAN while its firewall was switched off, then that would mean you need to adjust certain firewall rules.
