Hi,

Setup is that router (firmware 1.5.8) is running OpenVPN as server (Clients can only communicate with server; allow clients to access hosts on LAN).
Win7 client is running OpenVPN GUI and the connection has been made.
OpenVPN server runs on 10.8.0.1
Win7 client has ip-address 10.8.0.2
LAN IP is 192.168.5.xx

From Win7 client I can't reach any hosts, but can reach VPN server.:
Tracing route to 192.168.5.2 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 8 ms 7 ms 7 ms 10.8.0.1
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 * * * Request timed out.

These are the routes defined:

10.8.0.0/255.255.255.0 tun0 * 0
192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0 br-lan (LAN) * 0

Any suggestions how to access the LAN hosts from the OpenVPN client?

Problem solved. Was not on OpenVPN but on Win7 host where the pc firewall blocked ping requests from outside the local subnet. Added 10.8.0.0/24 to the allowed list of external IP's and ping worked.
