OpenVPN works, but cannot ping client PCs
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2014 8:00 pm
Hello--Newbie here. I successfully installed Gargoyle on my TP-Link WR1043NDv2 (my home router) and then proceeded to set up OpenVPN on a client computer (a Windows 7 laptop).
I took my Windows 7 laptop to another location with Internet access and successfully connected via OpenVPN. Success! However, while I could ping the TP-Link router, I could not ping or otherwise connect to the client PCs on my home LAN.
I have Googled this problem and while it shows up in many forum posts for many years, the solution(s) are not apparent. The best one that I can find seems to say that I need to insert the statement:
push "route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0"
Where and how do I insert this statement?
