      Dear team,

      I have successfully configured the open vpn server and working good except that i cant ping to my windows server on lan from vpn client. I can ping all other machines such as windows 10 machine, printers, dvr's etc… How can i resolve this ?

        Windows firewall active?
        The firewall blocks access from other subnets by default. So you'll have to add a rule to allow access from the VPN tunnel subnet.

          If the interface you are pinging on the server isn't its primary interface, ensure the server has a valid route for return traffic on the interface that you are pinging. Examin "route print" on the server to see where traffic from your OpenVPN subnet will end up.
