RBR50 - VPN assigns IP address to different subnet
HI Everyone, I have the Orbi RBR50 w/ FW v2.3.5.30. The issue I'm having is when I connect via VPN (openvpn ios app), the IP address assigned is on a different subnet. (ie: my internal addresses a...
Unless you have configured special rules to not allow communication between subnets this should work and you should be able to reach all your network.
On the bottom of the VPN configuration page on the web GUI there is setting for access options. Please see attched snapshot. What do you have set there? Please try changing this and see if this will give you any improvement.
I agree with ekhalil . When I use VPN, the computer that is "coming in" always gets an address in a different subnet, but it also is able to reach all of my devices. If you have a specific situation that isn't working, please describe it.
Thanks for the replies CrimpOn and ekhalil. My specific situation is that I have IPCams that are assigned static address and I have blocked them from internet access via "Access Control". When I am connected to my network via wireless/ wired, I can go to their IP address and access them. When I access my network via VPN, the VPN client being on a different subnet, cannot access the cams. If I turn off blocking via "Access Control" then the VPN client can reach them. I do not want to do this method as it does not secure the cams. Is it possible to reserve/ change the ipaddress issued to the VPN client so that it will be on the same subnet?
Thank you for taking your time and helping on this.

Please explain which "Access Control" is being used to block cameras from internet access. (On the Orbi web interface? Using the Orbi "app"? On the camera?)
Thanks
