Unable to ping AR150 as VPN client from the server

I have an OpenVPN server (10.8.0.1), and an AR150 as a VPN Client (10.8.0.17). The AR150 LAN port (192.168.201.254) has a Raspberry Pi plugged in to it (192.168.201.1)
From the CLI on the AR150, and the CLI on the Pi, I can ping 10.8.0.1, and also ping anywhere on the Internet. All good so far.

However from the CLI on the Server, I can’t ping 10.8.0.17. With tcpdump on the server, I can see the ping requests go out on tun0, but no replies coming back.

Is there some Advanced config in the AR150 that would block this (or I need to add something to allow it)?

Ultimately, other clients on the VPN would need to connect to the Pi on 192.168.201.1, but I need to sort out the first problem first.

As soon as I asked the question, I managed to answer it myself.

  1. Firewall Zone settings - add an ovpn > lan zone to accept Input, Output and Forward

Then to allow clients elsewhere to SSH to the Raspberry Pi on the LAN side (192.168.201.1)…
2) Create a Port Forward - From any port on ovpn, Forward to 192.168.201 port 22. (But that might have been unnecessary as I can SSH without it)
