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.

Thanks for this. I know, Windows 10 client connects with an IP Address in the same LAN Subnet in the RAX78, which is good. I have no problem with this.
I will try converting the smartphone (for my iPad) config to a "dev tap" connection. We'll see if it works.

Well, it does not work! The import process parses the config file and TAP is not supported in Open VPN in iPad's.
In that case, for wake on LAN, are you able to set up a different device on the LAN that will be on the proper subnet that can then broadcast to the right subnet?
For example do you have a raspberry pi device laying aroud that you are not currently using and can install a package like etherwake?
Some NAS devices can also send WOL packets, such as the Synology NAS, though it is typically done in for form of a user defined script.

Thanks for your suggestions. I also have a Win10 laptop with me when I travel that connects to my RAX78 OVPN service which is given the LAN IP so I can send WOL packet to my server at home.. It would have been convenient with a tablet.
I'm not into Rasberry Pi. I'm too old for that.
