      Hi everybody  :)

      I try to figure out something since a couple of days without success. I’m in an IT position, but not network specialist and English is not my native language which doens’t facilitate the troubleshooting.

      For sure I made some searches on this forum and tried some tutorials even in my native language, but without success so far. I would like to be sure to understand what I do.

      Thank you by advance for your help.

      Scenario.

      At work I have a pFSense 2.4 acting as router, an Internet Access (static public IP) on WAN, few computers on LAN on 192.168.2.0/24

      At home I have an Internet access and a Synology NAS acting as OpenVPN server, on network 192.168.1.0/24, VPN clients get 10.8.0.0/24

      I would like, from the LAN at work on 192.168.2.0/24, access home resources on 192.168.1.0/24
      It’s working fine with OpenVPN Gui (on the Synology I checked the box to « enable access to local nework »).

      I would like to build a simple site to site so no need to use OpenVPN Gui anymore.

      In VPN client / Tunnel settings I put :
      IPv4 Tunnel Network : 10.8.0.0/24
      IPv4 Remote network(s) : 192.168.1.0/24
      Settings as General Information / User auth / Cryptographic are correct as I’m connected: picture attached

      I created a rule Firewall / OpenVPN : picture attached

      Here is what I have in Firewall / NAT / Outbound, I understood it could be important… : picture attached

      Here is a ping from OpenVPN virtual interface to the VPN server (10.8.0.5) :

      I'm sure I missed a step, and it's probably obvious for you but... I'm blocked...

      Thank you for your good advices.

      Antoine.

        Hi gentlemen,

        not able to figure out so far…

        However my route table seems fine doesn't it ?  ???

        Sure I'm not far from the end, seems so simple, did I miss something ?

        Thanks.
