OpenVPN Server to OpenVPN client with 2 Routers and 2 LAN

Job314

Occasional Visitor
Hello to all!

I describe my situation that is making me lose my mind:

I have 2 LAN and 2 routers RT-N66u and RT-N16.
My goal is to be able to access HDDs connected to the routers and also to access shares of both LAN PCs.

RT-N66U (with OpenVPN server) - 3.0.0.4.270.26 (Merlin build)
IP: 131.114.0.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 131.114.0.1
OpenVPN: 10.8.0.1

RT-N16 (with OpenVPN Client) - Tomato Version 1.28 by shibby
IP: 192.168.0.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
OpenVPN: 10.8.0.6

From Client I can ping and browse shares of Server
ViceVersa impossible

If i change and set RT-N16 OpenVPN server and RT-N66U OpenVPN Client.... is the same problem:
from client to server, no problem, i can ping also the PC behind the router.
From Server to Client impossible....
In Server i set "allow Client to Client" but the problem persist.
I tried disable firewalls on each router but without results.
I tried install DD-WRT on RT-N16 with the same problem.

I tried to set static routes but But I do not know how to set them, and I do not know if that's the problem.

It seems impossible that there is a way to do
Can you help me? I'm desperate :-(

Thanks
Job

Edit: Only now I realized that Merlin has released a new firmware that supports RT-N16

I could also do this test but I think that the problem remains.
Since I did not even changing firmware changes, I fear that there is something to be set do not know.

other tests done:
Now to test and for ease of testing I set the RT-N16 as openvpn server and the RT-N66U as a client.

I have opened the door manually 3140 on the firewall of the RT-N66U with the commands:
iptables-A INPUT-i any -p udp - dport 3140 -j ACCEPT
iptables-A OUTPUT-o any -p udp - dport 3140 -j ACCEPT

Based on the routing table of the client (which works perfectly) I added a route manually on the server with the command:
route add -net 131.114.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.8.0.2 tun21

No work

I also tried manually stopping the firewall of both routers ("service stop_firewall" on RT-N66U and "service firewall stop" on RT-N16).

I am attaching some pictures of openVPN server, client, and routes of both routers.

The absurd thing is that from client (RT-N66U) to the server (rt-n16) everything works perfectly, and vice versa nothing works. From the server (rt-n16) I can only ping the ip generated by the VPN server (10.8.0.6) that corresponds to the client (RT-N66U) !!

Specific connected to the WAN RT-N66U I have another router that provides internet connection (192.168.205.1), but he has all the doors open (already checked in every possible way) and the firewall off.
Idem for RT-N16 (the router that provide internet connection is 192.168.1.1 with all doors opened and firewall off)


Please help me ...

Difficult question :( I’d advice you to get in touch with your VPN service provider. They will be the very right resource to get you out from it and also i would suggest that you visit a review webstie like bestvpnservice.com
