Hi,
I configure open VPN, on this way.
my internal network is: 192.168.1.0/24
in this configuration my gatway on VPN network should be 192.168.3.1, but when open vpn client creat route, he create whith de previus ip to the one he givi to my client, exemple: my VPN IP 192.168.3.6, my gatway on route:: 192.168.3.5.
Windows route:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.5 192.168.3.6 281
192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.5 192.168.3.6 281
Open VPN Route:

Hi Carlos
And welcome to the NethServer community!
In my opinion, these will NOT work, if your NethServer is 192.168.1.1/24.
For all three, you can use 192.168.1.1, which would be correct.
As to the Windows route, WHAT client are you using? Seems not to be Viscosity, IMHO the best OpenVPN client…
I’ve never had routing issues, and I’m using Viscosity for Macs and Windows (For all my clients too!)… I’ll go even further, I never had to bother about routing, the Internal LAN was / is always accessible for OpenVPN clients…
My 2 cents

Hi Andy,
When i conect on vpn, my server recive a IP 192.168.3.1, because this i use the DNS on that way.
I Will try use the vicosity, actualy i use the ooen DNS client for Windows.
TKS
Hi Andy,
I try use the viscosity and hava a same problem.
Tks for your advisor

Good Morning Carlos
The 192.168.3.0/24 network serves only one purpose, to let OpenVPN Clients connect to the NethServer, which in turn acts as a router to your “normal” LAN on 192.168.1.0/24.
Just because the Server uses 192.168.3.1 (and also 192.168.3.2…) does NOT mean that any services are available on those IPs…
In fact, normally, clients connecting with OpenVPN can’t even ping each other, less even connect. The IP is “isolated” from others… (Each client gets a special, virtual network with a /29 subnet, only allowing connections to the server - don’t ask me for details…).
This actually seems to show the correct route:
Normally, OpenVPN will allow your Roadwarrior client to reach your LAN (192.168.1.0/24) and any hosts on that LAN (Must have the NethServer as default gateway). You CAN configure more (much more!) options with OpenVPN, like all traffic passes through the VPN. This makes sense for a company, which “protects” notebooks by routing all trafic through the companys site, where there are recoursses like firewalls, virus scanners etc…
Just ignore the 192.168.3.0/24 network on your client when it comes to routing…
My 2 cents

A working “sample” configuration. The Nethserver is “hosted”, and directly reachable from the Internet. A second, virtual NIC, has the LAN IP 192.168.10.2, this IP is reachable by all clients.

Andy, tks for your time.
I configure my open vpn on nethserver to allow traffic client-to-client on VPN network, and my route is the same, My server on VPN stay on IP 192.168.3.1 and 192.168.1.5,I can access the serve on both, but I can’t access any other IP on network 192.168.1.0/24.

Hi Carlos
On the 192.168.1.0/24, do all PCs use the NethServer as Gateway, DHCP and DNS?
Andy
Hi Andy,
On this network the server is only DNS, my gateway and DHCP is 192.168.1.1 (Mikrotik).
In this situation, his not work ?
Regards,
Carlos Tavares
@carlos_tavares
Hi
You will need a route on the Microtik:
Network:
192.168.3.0/24
Gateway:
192.168.1.5? (Your Nethserver’s LAN IP…)
My 2 cents
