OpenVPN configuration

Hi, recently purchased an XR500, and was trying to set up the OpenVPN server it is able to connect successfully but I am unable to access certain local resources (local web pages running on a local machine). Was wondering if this is an issue with the router, the server itself, or the OpenVPN configurations (either client or server). Thanks

Re: OpenVPN configuration

I'm assuming you have selected the option for local network on the service page? Have you tried with both TAP/TUN and different ports? You may have more success by starting a ticket directly with Netgear http://support.netgear.com/

What server are you trying to connect to? Could you explain what the aim of using the VPN service is and we can see where to go from there.

You shouldn't need to use a VPN for this, if you have done your sharing settings correctly then they should be discoverable on your devices without a VPN.
