Hi,

i use first GL-300N-V2 as OpenVPN-client, second GL-300N-V2 as OpenVPN server. access

from client network to server network successful.

but how I use the other direction, i.e. access the client network from the server’s network ?

thanks in advance Thomas

Is the client network a subnet of the server network when the VPN is up?

no, client and server network are different, for example
client-network 192.168.8.0/24 and server network 192.168.1.0/24

From 3.201, you have an option to allow local access. This option is in both server and client. You should enable both.

Off topic, but in a TUN connection the client will be given a different subnet, often 10.8.0.0/something, with routing added.

Also, you will avoid problems if you change the server network from the common 192.168.1.0/24. Even if the client isn’t on that network, it is not unheard of for the modems, routers, etc. along the way to have that as well, and then confusion results.
