Openvpn tunnels settings accessing local network

sandman06 · May 5, 2013, 8:05 PM

Hi Guys,

I have recently switched from pptp to openvpn and everything works fine apart from one thing
on the tunnel settings , you are given a choice to allow access to your local network. is it possible to put more than 1 network in this field? I dont want to be restricted to just my 192.168.1.0/24 LAN, i also want to access other subnets such as 192.168.2.0/24(dmz) and 192.168.3.0/24(vmware mngmnt)

can someone help.

thanks

On 2.0.n put your ordinary LAN in the Local Network field and (push route) statements in the advanced box, separated by ";"

push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0"

On 2.1 you can put a comma-separated list of networks in the Local Network field - no need to use the advanced box.
Make sure the firewall rules on OpenVPN allow the traffic to/from all the networks you want to reach.
