Looking for openVPN recipe for LAN access that "just works"

[bmsadmin]

running into a LOT of frustration trying to get VPN access for folks off-site to access out LAN. I have tried several recipes I have found here and elsewhere, and the best result I have been able to get is accessing the gateway and Internet via my gateway, but NO LAN access.

I am only issuing clients to a few select folks, so if I could have automatic access to the LAN that would be great.

DID NOT work:

Does it really have to be such a pain in the a$$?

thanks in advance
