On my old FVS336 firewalls, I could do a direct IPSec connection. In fact, that was the only way I could get a VPN to work from my Android devices. I am using the Insight software to get my PC to VPN...

Dana,
Thanks for the respone, but it doesn't resolve the issue, which is OpenVPN picking a poor choice for the pseudo-network address.
Nor did you give any insight into why the IPSec VPN drop down doesn't give me a peer to LAN option.

Kindly post screenshots of the drop down you are referring to. To what OS is the OpenVPN installed?

The first Picture is the IPSec Page
Second picture is after clicking the Add button
Third is the drop down requested
Fourth is the "help" menu for the page showing there should be multiple options

Thanks for posting screenshots. I inquired your concern about the IPSec Client-to-LAN (or Client-to-Site) VPN to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. I'm afraid to inform you that according to them, only IPSec Site-to-Site VPN is currently supported.
