OpenVPN windows client not pinging local hosts

[adamzzz]

I am connected with an openvpn windows client to the server RUT951 but I cannot ping local network hosts.

Hello,

In the OpenVPN server configurations for RUT951, you can add a route in the “push options” field. Replace ‘route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0’ with the LAN network of your RUT951. For example, if the LAN IP on your RUT951 is 192.168.10.1/24, use ‘route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0.’

This route will be pushed to the OpenVPN client on a Windows PC, allowing the PC to recognize that it can access this network over the OpenVPN connection.

If you’re still experiencing issues with pings, ensure that your PC is on a different network from the one your RUT951 is on. For instance, if both your PC and RUT951 are on the 192.168.1.0/24 network, you’ll need to change one of these networks to something different, such as 192.168.10.0/24.

Kind Regards,

Hello,

I had it almost exactly as I wrote, with the difference that I didn’t have the “route” word in “push option”, I added it and everything works fine. Thank you very much for your help.
