Hi Guys,
I have a home network with 3 PCs, all connected to my DD-WRT x86 Pro router. Everyting works great there. But, I'd like to access my LAN shares from my Android phone, while connected to the OpenVPN server that this router is running.
I am rruning this build (Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r40276 std). The phone can connect to the VPN server and access the internet but, not the local shares on the LAN. If I connect the phone to the Wifi network, it can access the shares just fine.
Here are my router settings
-----------------------------
LAN 192.168.4.0
VPN 192.168.5.0
Hi eibgrad and thak you for your support. I access all my PCs by IP address, which I have assigned manually. There's no active DHCP service in my network.
I have tried pinging and, the PCs in the 192.168.4.0 can ping the 192.168.4.1 and even the 192.168.5.1 address, but, the phone, when connected to the OpenVPN cannot ping any of the above addresses. However it pings 8.8.8.8 etc.
My router config looks like this now
-----------------------
Additional Config
push "route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
