Hi,

I have my existing solution at raspbery I re-direct port via NAT inside to my Raspbery and have working OpenVPN Tunnel.

It took me a while to figure out, not easy task regarding routing.

I bought this expensive swicth hoping that it supports OpenVPN but apparently there something wrong with it.

I tried so many combinations, followed various examples from TP-link.

These examples seem even confuging and incomplete in terms what subnets are already used and what subnets shall be new.

Briefly:

     After I export  *.ovpn file, I replace the generated 10.x.x.x for my real <PUBLIC ip> address.

     I have proven that it works because my other tunnel via Raspbery works fine at this address and I have all ports from my provider.

     my internal LAN I want to access is  192.168.2.0/24   with DHPC for .130-.180

     I am quite confused

" Local Network: "  ??? what the heck is this, it is vague even in all manuals

  I suppose I create a new, different one.

  Local Network: 192.168.44.0/24

  " IP Pool: " ?? again - quite confusing

  never explained in manual what is meant by this

   shall I fill in

             192.168.2.0/24 ?

   shall I fill in

             192.168.2.124/3  or something like that to narrow the scope

  or shall  I use

              192.168.44.0/24  which is I chose most often times

or pleaase, please explain this or add explanation to documentation, it is horrible ambiguous

Whatever I use, I the export  *.ovpn file, replace public address, transfer it to my mobile phone (Android)  and then connect tunnel.

Tunnel is created almost always witout any problem.

Green, running.

However what the problem is, I cannot ping 192.168.2.x  anything.

I cannot ping back to my phone.

My phone shows me correct IP in correct range.

My phone gets correct DNS.

My phone gets correct GW.

Tunnel shows correct connection everything runs smoothly BUT ping deos NOT work in any scenario.

Even not when I push  route into ovpn file.

I spent hours, hours, useless time. From varios sources and youtube videos I think this never worked or there must be some weird bug in these routers.

I even check routing tables. I even tried to add manual routing entries at router side.

Hopeless, hopeless. Expensice switch which declares OpenVPN but OpenVPN never worked.

If someone coul help me clarify settings I can make this attempt (start again from scratch) again. I can then send all details, what a ping tool at my mobile sees.

I relly exhausted many combinations.
