Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.3

Hey.  I've set up the OpenVPN server on my router and have an OpenVPN client on my laptop.  While I can access some things, like remote desktop to another machine, I have a couple of servers on my LAN that I cannot ping by IP.  When I try to access them over http I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

 

I can access them just fine if I am at home on my LAN.

 

So, to recap:

 

Remote desktop:  By machine name:  Doesn't work.

Remote desktop:  By IP: works.

Remote desktop:  Ping by name or IP:  Doesn't work.

 

Server (NAS)

 

Ping: by IP works.

Ping: by name: doesn't work

http:  Forbidden

 

SMB shares cannot be accessed at all.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried joining those servers to the VPN, even if they are already on the LAN?
