Dear ALL,
The network of the router is 192.168.1.x and the client is using the IP from the network 192.168.2.x. But I received the log "Warning: route gateway is not reachable on any active network adapters: 192.168.1.1" once connected to OpenVPN. And I did not find any blocked device from the Security / Access Control of the RAX70. Please advice next step. Thanks!
BR,

That's on the local OpenVPN (from where you try to stablish the connection), or on the RAX70 router itself?

Wild guess, on the local computer where you try to establish the OpenVPN connection from. Typical cause is when the software bridge can't be loaded or activated.
Was this OpenVPN set-up workable before, or is this all new?
The other location you are trying to establish a connection to does have a routeable, public IPV4 address, too?
Please post the complete log from the OpenVPN GUI, right click, under the connection you find something like a "Show Log". Edit the public IP address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx before posting please.
