Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2023 2:15 Post subject: Placing Clients into OpenVPN Subnet
Hi all - I'm having some trouble figuring out the exact configuration to use so that I can get multiple clients connected to a DD-WRT router connected to my VPN where each of them should have their own IP within the VPN's subnet.
As it is, I have an OpenVPN server set up and using its own subnet of 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0. I can get the DD-WRT router to successfully connect to the VPN and get an IP address of 10.8.0.2 assigned to it but each device that is connected to the DD-WRT router has an IP address such as 192.168.1.116 (assigned by the router) instead of 10.8.0.5.
I tried looking through the posts here but wasn't able to find anything that seemed like what I'm looking for (I'm a relative newbie to more advanced configurations so definitely possible that I missed it) and trial and error hasn't worked out either. Is this possible? Let me know if any other info is needed/would be useful.
Here's what I have so far in my configuration:
OpenVPN server configuration
Code:
port 1194
proto udp4
dev tap
ca ******************************************
cert ******************************************

dh ******************************************
topology subnet

crl-verify "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\pki\\crl.pem"
Client configuration (imported the file into DD-WRT using GUI)
