Archer AX1500 VPN with Windows File Sharing
Hi. This is my first post in this community, and I'm hoping someone will be able to help.
I have a Archer AX1500. It has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, and its network peers are all located at 192.168.0.x. I have set up OpenVPN like so:
I would like to connect to this VPN from a remote network (which also has computers in the 192.168.0.x range). I am able to use the "OpenVPN Connect" client to connect to the VPN, and it gives me a 10.8.0.6 IP address. Once connected to the VPN, I can ping 192.168.0.1 and even access the Web interface of it. (In case someone is wondering, no, I don't have a 192.168.0.1 device on my local network. It's only accessible thanks to the function of the VPN.) But I can't ping other devices on the remote network.
Ultimately, I would like to use Windows File Sharing to share files between the two networks. So packets would need to move something like this:
[My local computer at 10.8.0.0 on the VPN] <-> [Internet] <-> [Archer AX1500 with VPN] <-> [Windows File Sharing comptuer at 192.168.0.22].
But as I said, I can't even ping 192.168.0.22. I'm guessing my request is not being routed correctly from the 10.8.0.x range to the 192.168.0.x range. Please help. Thank you.
