Re: OpenVPN error

What do you mean you cannot forward VPN in your office?

Can you provide a network diagram?

If you're unable to ping, check for any firewalls.

@ElaineM here is my pic.

 

VM machine is my openvpn client and i'm successfully connected to office2.

 

My machines pc1,pc2,pc3 unable to access network 192.168.100.0/24 through VM.

 

i added route to my pc's 192.168.100.0 gw 192.168.80.81

 

net.ipv4.forwarding = 1

 

any ideas ?

Re: OpenVPN error

The problem lies now on the the VM configuration.

It might be possible that there's a NAT or any firewall of some kind that might be preventing it.

You may want to check the manual of your VM or their community as well.
