Hello.

I try to implement a OpenVPN connection betweeen 2 Netgear R8000 routers using DD-WRT to connect 2 LANs (local and remote).

I used this article: https://openvpn.net/community-resources/how-to/#expanding-the-scope-of-the-vpn-to-include-additional-machines-on-either-the-client-or-server-subnet

My "local LAN" is 192.168.137.0/24

My "remote LAN" is 192.168.138.0/24

On my "local LAN", I have activated OpenVPN server on DD-WRT - using TUN 10.137.0.0/24

On my "remote LAN", I have activated OpenVPN client on DD-WRT

I am able to activate the VPN connection from client.

I am able to ping OpenVPN server 192.168.137.1 on local LAN from client on remote LAN (I am also able to ping all hosts which are connected to local LAN).

But I am not able to ping OpenVPN client 192.168.138.1 from server ! Imposssible to ping from local LAN to remote LAN...

What is strange is that on OpenVPN status page, I get the same address 10.137.0.1 for both local and remote address. I thought that I would have 10.137.0.1 for local and 10.137.0.2 for remote...

And I am not able to ping 10.137.0.2 !

On server, routes are:

root@Netgear-R8000-RO-137:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 vlan2
10.137.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 tun2
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vlan2
192.168.137.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0
192.168.138.0 10.137.0.2 255.255.255.0 UG 100 0 0 tun2
192.168.138.0 10.137.0.2 255.255.255.0 UG 200 0 0 tun2

Because, i am not able to ping gateway 10.137.0.2, it seems normal that I am not able to ping 192.168.138.1 !

Any help would be appreciated...
