OpenVPN client cannot see local network

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

I think there’s a static route missing on your router. Your router does not know about the vpn network and drops the ping.

VPN Routing network no connection to server-side LAN

You won’t need a custom firewall rule for openvpn, it should be setup automatically. Did you setup the static route on the router to destination network 10.8.0.0/255.255.255.0 via gateway 10.23.0.3 ? https://kb.netgear.com/24226/What-are-static-routes-and-how-do-they-work-with-my-NETGEAR-router Which vpn client do you use on which OS?
