    As the title says, I am doing something silly. I have set up a vpn with openvpn, and I can ping my router with its local IP, so I know the tunnel is working, but I cannot ping anything else.

    Openvpn rule is

    source 10.36.3.0/24 port -*- dest. 10.36.0.0/16

    Other machines are on 10.36.1.0/24 subnet

    Thank You All in Advance

      Show your OpenVPN configuration and firewall rules via screenshots.
      Make sure your target machines are not blocking the traffic. For example the windows firewall is blocking anything outside the local (known) subnet.

            Your OpenVPN tunnel network lies within you LAN network.
            The subnets must not overlap!

              Indeed, also see here:

              I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.
