Cannot reach LAN from "Address Pool"

augie

Hi
I'm trying to connect to my home network from "anywhere". The problem is that I get an IP in the virtual address pool but I cannot reach my LAN. I cannot access internet, connect to any hosts, servers or my pfsense server on the LAN. The only thing that works is that I can ping my pfsense server on 192.168.1.1. Since I get the same problem on both a win7 and an ubuntu 8.04 host I assume it is related to the OpenVPN server setup or some other pfsense setup error. Please help!

OpenVPN setup on pfsense
UDP
Dynamic IP
1194
Address Pool 192.168.200.0/24
Local Network 192.168.1.0/24
LZO compression
Custom Option management 127.0.0.1 1194; [for OpenVPN Status Package]

Win7 ovpn_home.ovpn file - And the same in linux
float
port 1194
dev tun
dev-node ovpn_home
proto udp
remote myipathom.dyndns.org 1194
ping 10
persist-tun
persist-key
tls-client
ca ca.crt
cert client1.crt
key client1.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
pull
verb 4

Firewall Rules
WAN - allow udp 1194 to any
LAN - allow any to any

That's it I think! Ah, yes, I tried to set up a "Client Specific configuration" with push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" without success.

Any suggestions?

Not sure about ubuntu clients, but on Win7 were you running the client as Administrator?

When connected, go to a CMD prompt, and type "route print" and see if you have a route to your home network that has an IP in the OpenVPN address pool as its gateway.
