Site to site OpenVPN

Product Discussion Pepwave MAX

I am using OpenVPN to bridge my Peplink BR1 Pro 5G network to my office network (or trying to). Also running OpenVPN access server in the office.

Before trying to use the peplink for vpn site to site I was using another vpn router behind the peplink and everything worked as expected.

Switching to the peplink I added the license and imported the same *.opvn config as the other router was using. The peplink connected immediately. I could also ping the access server and office router from the PL and the office router can ping the PL. Nothing else can be accessed from either side. Using the PL system-tools-ping, I can ping a PC on the office side if the OpenVPN connection is used but not if the Lan connection is used.

The office side is 192.168.2.0/24 and the PL side is 192.168.3.0/24.

The VPN is wan connection which has me confused and am wondering if this will work?

Not sure if that model supports this, but in the OpenVPN interface’s settings, find the “Routing Mode” option and click the blue question mark next to it.
Near the bottom of the little pop-up message, click the blue “here” hyperlink to show the “IP Forwarding” Option.
Select that new “IP Forwarding” option, keep the defaults, then apply.

Sweet! Thank you very much. That did the trick, I over looked that little “here” option. Don’t know why they would bury that.

I also needed to add some port forwarding options as well.
Thanks again.
