OpenVPN connection issue from Lan to remote OpenVPN client
-
I am working on trying to get communication between a computer on my lan to a remote connected client. The connection works from the client to the lan but not the other direction. My configuration is as follows:
Tunnel network: 10.10.1.0/24
Local network: 10.10.0.0/24
Remote client ip: 10.10.1.2
Local lan connected ip: 10.10.0.2
Output of openvpn client side:

Thanks!

Seem the client doesn't accept access from remote (unknown) networks. That's the default behavior of most system firewalls like Windows.
You will have to open up the firewall to accept access from 10.10.0.0/24. -
You were totally right, a new firewall rule fixed this.

Firewall (think windows firewall) on the client blocking the traffic?
