Hello,

 

I just set up an Open VPN Server following this article: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3632/

 

The PC on the remote site is assigned a 192.168.2.XXX address and connects fine to the main 192.168.1.XXX network. From this remote PC I can access everything fine on the main network.

 

However, from the main network 192.168.1.XXX, I can't open a remote desktop connection, or even a ping, to the PC connected through the Open VPN tunnel on the 192.168.2.XXX network. What can be the problem?

 

Thanks in advance!

Just solved it. It was the remote PC's windows Firewall, it was accepting RDP connections from the local network, but had to make a rule to allow connections through the OpenVPN client.
