RAX78 Open VPN IOS (iPad) client not given IP Address the same as RAX78 LAN
Hello. My iPad's Open VPN client is assigned an IP Address from a different subnet as the RAX78 LAN. The Windows Open VPN client is assigned an IP Address in the same LAN subnet, which is good. I ...
For windows, you will typically see 2 adapters. Windows normally handles VPN traffic in a split tunnel mmanner where the VPN application adds a virtual NIC that gets an IP assigned by the VPN server.
On a PC, the physical NIC still has the local IP of whatever network it is on, and applications can choose to use it (bypassign the VPN) if they want. The virtual NIC will still get an IP in the subnet that the router uses for VPN clients, in the case of Netgear, something in the xxx.xxx.254.xxx range.
If yours is treating the windows client differently, then you could attempt to use it on a mobile device by removing certain entries such as
"dev-node NETGEAR-VPN" from the file and changing "dev tap" to "dev tun", and removing "redirect-gateway", and then seeinf it will still connect using the mbile device.
