OpenVPN access clients from LAN

[jbaileypro]

Hi all,

I've used the OpenVPN wizard to setup the VPN successfully (including using AD for authentication). One of the OpenVPN clients is a Synology NAS which is used for a offsite backup location. The backup source is a server on the LAN.

OpenVPN clients can connect and communicate with LAN devices but not the other way around.

I've tried static routes but it doesn't allow creation without a parent interface which I've tried creating but doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Layout is:
LAN: 10.0.0.0/8
OpenVPN: 172.16.10.0/24

NAS for example gets 172.16.10.200/24
Server for example is: 10.0.10.50/8

NAS can ping and browse shares on 10.0.10.50 server. Server cannot ping or access 172.16.10.200 Synology.

Thanks all,

Set up a S2S connection which is made for that

Worked out the issue.

The gateway for the default firewall rule was set to a failover group on the LAN side. As this wasn't the default routing table it wasn't able to route to the VPN.

To fix this I added a new firewall, from = LAN network, to = VPN network, gateway = default and voila. LAN was now able to speak to VPN clients now too!
