Hi, I can connect from my android phone using the OpenVPN client to the OpenVPN server running on my Linksys WRT3200ACM using DD-WRT but there is no internet or any of my LAN devices showing.

My main router/modem that connects to the internet has an IP of 192.168.1.254 I have forwarded port 1194 to my Linksys router that has the OpenVPN server on which is 192.168.1.1

It helps if you state your build number and what instruction you used to setup

To get the best out of DDWRT and the forum read the forum guidelines with helpful pointers:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=324087

If you have not already read the forum guidelines, please do !!

For the proper setup see the links in my signature at the bottom.

Some pointers:
For internet access of your clients you need a firewall rule.
For reaching other clients on you home LAN you need to disable CVE mitigation and disable/tweak the firewall of the LAN clients to allow the subnet of OpenVPN

Unfortunately those are obsolete/wrong.

The links in my signature are much better and I am not saying that because I am the author Wink

I've been looking at the OpenVPN server setup guide on here which I would have done the otherday but couldn't as the site was offline sadly.

As I say I am connected so I can't be too far off getting it to work right?

Maybe not but you should get rid of the firewall rules and probably of all the extra rules, you only need the rule to NAT OpenvPN traffic out if your OpenVPN clients want internet as described in paragraph 8a (and of course disable the "Inbound Firewall on TUN")

You should probably also get rid of the extra's in the Additional Config

For access to clients on the LAN disable "CVE-2019-14899 Mitigation" and if necessary allow VPN traffic in the LAN clients firewall

The picture on page 9 should give you a good overview.

Compression is/will be deprecated because it is a safety risk besides it does not help on these soho routers (it does not increase throughput)

Ok I'm making progress, thank you, I can access my NAS at 192.168.1.50 on my LAN but my Nvidia shield at 192.168.1.81 I cannot. Also still can't access the internet.

Can access the web interface of my linksys router with DD-WRT on at 192.168.1.1 but I can't access my isps router web interface at 192.168.1.254

got rid of firewall rules, and replaced with

Quote:
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o $(get_wanface) -j MASQUERADE
and changed the network to 10.8.0.0

"Inbound Firewall on TUN" was disabled
Got rid of the extras in additional config

Disabled "CVE-2019-14899 Mitigation"
Disabled compression

Do you have in 'Additional Dnsmasq Options'
interface=tun2
assuming your OVPN server is tun2.. you can check that on page ../Routing.asp
show routing table should look so as mine is:

Make its Local IP address 192.168.2.1 or some such that is not same as your main.
EDIT: leave its gateway and DNS all blank (zeros) ....end EDIT
you will need to reboot it so all is good and whatever is connected to it will be good.

You can of course set this unit up as a WAP with WAN assigned to switch and still run an OVPN server on it iffin you want.
I have a couple set that way so all my main stuff is on same subnet. You have to do a bit of research Wink
egc likely has a guide about that also....I ain't looked at his stuff...since I've had all mine running long before he got so active Laughing

It's my dinner time so gotta run Cool

good luck
