      I have what I hope is a simple question. I have tried finding the answer myself via Google but every response I have found has misinterpreted my question :-(

      Scenario: I have a Workstation A on Network A that has established a connection to Network B via an OpenVPN client connect to an OpenVPN server on Network B. Simple scenario that gives Workstation A access to resources on Network B.

      My question is this: Is it possible, after Workstation A has established its connection described above, for a resource on Network B to access a resource on Workstation A (like Workstation B on Network B mapping one of Workstation A's drives to itself)?

      Thanks.

        Of course you can.
        Just open the firewall on workstation A to allow the desired services and access it by its VPN IP.

          @viragomann Thank you for your response.

          While I was waiting for a response, I did try one more approach and I did manage to get it to work.

          Thanks for your time.
