Unable to access LAN resources via VPN on X45 R7800
I've enabled the VPN service on my X45 R7800, and selected "All sites on the internet & home network" as the access option for clients. I've downloaded the Android config package and installed it on...
First suggestion would be to log in to your router and go to Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup and reserve an unused address in the range 192.168.1.* for your phone based on phone MAC address. You may have to connect to your Wi-Fi at home with your phone to determine the specific MAC address for the band you are using (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, etc.)
Thanks for the suggestion. I set up a reservation of 192.168.1.155 for my phone's MAC address, but it got ignored when I connected to the VPN - it got allocated 192.168.2.2 again
In the LAN setup section you choose the IP address for the router itself and also the range of addresses to be assigned via DHCP.
I set 10.0.0.1 for my router and the start/stop range as 10.0.0.100 - 10.0.0.149 for my DHCP. I am using TCP for the TUN mode service type. I have full access to all LAN resources (NAS, IP cameras, etc.)
Yes I have the router set up with an IP address of 192.168.1.1, and DHCP allocations in the range 192.168.1.10-248. So I have no idea why it allocates a 192.168.2.* address to VPN clients
