Sorry I am new at this and my lingo might not make sense.
At the moment the client-side (192.168.1) is able to connect to the openVPN router (kong build 34900) and access the local lan (192.168.43.1) by IP only. Able to ping IP addresses. However, the client-side can not see the network. I can map drives only by IP and not by name.
What do I need to do to assign a local lan IP to the client so that the client can send and receive as if it is on that local lan?

For (local) DNS besides pushing the DNS server like you do you, you also have to tell DNSMasq to listen on tun2, add to DNSMasq options:
interface=tun2
Mind you this is a routed (tun) setup, so there is no such thing as windows discovery, for that you need a bridged (tap) setup.
Thanks for replying, I actually used your guide to help set this up and it was a lot of help! Thanks again for all your work.
I do have DNSmasq set to listen to tun2.
That sucks that there is no windows discovery. I have this program that I use on my computer that requires a mapped drive to the server SQL database. Which I am able to map using the IP address however, the program I use takes 20-30 seconds to receive/process information that normally should take a couple of seconds.
I'll have to read into the TAP set up to see if that will work instead.
