Site-to-Site OVPN Cannot Access Remote Clients from Local LAN

[jfdelacruz]

Hi All,

Been going at this for over a week now with no progress. Just about to throw the towel and overall generally disappointed with myself on not getting such a simple config to work.

Problem: I cannot ping/access clients behind OpenVPN Client (router) from Local LAN. I can ping/access clients behind OpenVPN Server (Local LAN) from the remote clients.

pfSense OVPN Server:
WAN: Public IP
LAN: 192.168.50.254/24 (DHCP 192.168.50.100-200)  - this is GW for all clients behind this router
VPN: 10.0.8.1/24

Asus Merlin Router:
WAN: Public IP
LAN: 192.168.2.254/24 (DHCP 192.168.2.100-200) - this is GW for all clients behind this router
VPN: 10.0.8.2/24

I have forced all traffic through the VPN tunnel.
From 192.168.2.100 (my laptop), I am able to ping 192.168.50.250 (server).
From 192.168.50.250 (server), I am NOT able to ping 192.168.2.100 (my laptop).
-Tracert returns a request time out and won't go past the OpenVPN Server (192.168.2.254)

I have followed all configurations suggested to a T and all troubleshooting points that there is a routing conflict. I, however, am not very familiar with routing and the way I see it upon checking the routing table on both routers, they seem to be properly configured. I have set the firewall rules to the most relaxed (as far as I can tell).

I would greatly appreciate any help. I really need to get this working as I need to view IP cameras (lots of them) from the other site. It would be impractical to port forward each and every single one.

There should be an option for "inter-client communication" you can select in the server preferences.
