Open VPN server not providing access to local network.
Open VPN server not providing access to local network.

Model: Archer C9  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: latest

I've set up the open VPN server on my Archer C9 and I can successfully connect remotely through an openVPN client and access the router's web page through the VPN connection.

 

However, I'm unable to ping or access any of the other computers that are behind the router. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks!

@DrRZ 

 

Try to disable the firewall on the clients and C9. Then try to ping the local device. 

 

Besides, have you ever enabled remote management on C9?

 

Any updates, be free to let us know.

@DrRZ I am also using the same TPlink Router with OPen VPN.

I am also facing the same issue. I am unable to setup the same IP settings for LAN and VPN.

If they need to be different how do we setup so that VPN can access the Local Network.
