Hi.  This is my first post in this community, and I'm hoping someone will be able to help.

I have a Archer AX1500.  It has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, and its network peers are all located at 192.168.0.x.  I have set up OpenVPN like so:

df8ee14073d947b4a1cb8c4d8bea30b7

 

I would like to connect to this VPN from a remote network (which also has computers in the 192.168.0.x range).  I am able to use the "OpenVPN Connect" client to connect to the VPN, and it gives me a 10.8.0.6 IP address.  Once connected to the VPN, I can ping 192.168.0.1 and even access the Web interface of it.  (In case someone is wondering, no, I don't have a 192.168.0.1 device on my local network.  It's only accessible thanks to the function of the VPN.)  But I can't ping other devices on the remote network.

Ultimately, I would like to use Windows File Sharing to share files between the two networks.  So packets would need to move something like this:

[My local computer at 10.8.0.0 on the VPN] <-> [Internet] <-> [Archer AX1500 with VPN] <-> [Windows File Sharing comptuer at 192.168.0.22].

But as I said, I can't even ping 192.168.0.22.  I'm guessing my request is not being routed correctly from the 10.8.0.x range to the 192.168.0.x range.  Please help. Thank you.
