I've had OpenVPN Server running on my Netgear R7000 router for a while now without problems. Then I decided to updated to the v3.0-r29440M kongac build from 04/19/16 since the version I was running required me to use DMZ when creating a VPN tunnel from within the local network. Don't know what I was running before but it is probably about two years old. Did not reset the system updating...
Now the tunnel appears to connect just fine. My internet trafic is directed through the tunnel. No problems connecting with Windows machines on the local network on the other side of the tunnel. However, I can't access my FreeBSD and Linux computers through the tunnel any more. They don't even respond to a ping.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I've tried some different settings (based on different forum threads) when it comes to the VPN Server additional settings and the firewall settings but nothing I've done so far appears to change anything. Anything in the configuration that could cause this?
Sorry mate but it is quite hard to follow you. Could you explain a little bit more the following:

What did you do with the DMZ option? On which side did you put which LAN client into the DMZ? And why?

Well, you have a side-to-side VPN setting with at least one local network on each side, right?
And all traffic to the internet from one side should go through the VPN to the other side where the data exit to the internet, right? And from where to where can you connect to the Windows computers? And from where do you want to reach the Linux system? _________________ Ongoing experiences with:
