      Hi,

      I can connect to my LAN with OpenVPN. But now, I can't seem to do anything on my LAN. I can ping various servers, but I cannot mount NFS, use SMB, use IP or hostname to get to local web servers.

      Interestingly enough there are 2 servers which allow me to ssh in, but everything else doesn't respond. I've even watched one of the server logs (via TeamViewer), and nothing! There's just no activity.

      What's weird is that it used to work, but I don't think I changed anything. The implementation is straight out of the Configuration Recipes in the docs.

      This is my WAN firewall rule:

      This is my OpenVPN firewall rule:
      6b6a39be-2b17-4f6b-88c9-17d02d127110-image.png

      DNS resolves, but nothing else seems to work. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

      Thanks

        Do you have a Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound rule for your VPN Network?

        Mine looks like this:
