After troubleshooting OpenVPN issues for the past few days; I figured I'd share my results to save somebody else the headache in the future. Here's what I found... I recently installed a Nighthawk ...

FYI, this is in the wrong forum area (ReadyNAS, not Nighthawk routers).

After LOTS of troubleshooting I noticed that the router seems to hand out 192.168.2.X IP addresses to VPN clients. The problem was that I changed my router's LAN settings to also use the 192.168.2.0/24 address space.
FWIW, I use 10.0.0.x addresses myself, and have no issue with OpenVPN. That's not to say your info is wrong, just that it does work ok with the subnet I use.
