Title: OpenVPN-bridge and local networks
Post by: cactus on August 27, 2007, 09:47:39 PM

I have recently installed the OpenVPN bridge contrib and it works perfectly to contact to my server. However my setup is a little more complex and I would also like to now if it is possible to connect to systems connected to a router (Linksys WRTG54GL) which is connected to the LAN site of the server, to explain a little bit more a quick diagram of the setup:

Code: [Select]

WAN --- SME Server --- WRTG54 --- (w)LAN
The LAN side of my server is in the 192.168.55.x and my VPN IP address is the 192.168.55.100, which is in the local network of my SME Server and outside of the DHCP scope. The outside address of my (w)LAn router is in the same local subnet as my VPN address and at the LAN side of my SME Server. The LAN side of my (w)LAN router has IP addresses in the 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 subnet. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi. I think it should be possible (but I never tried), depending on the firmware of your WRT (I know coova-ap firmware include an openvpn client, but maybe dd-wrt also). But for that to work, you'll need to use auth methode 2, as the WRT need to authenticate without password. Then, you should be able to connect it like any other client.
