I have an ASUS AC-86U with Merlin 386.3_2 firmware. I have OpenVPN with "all traffic" sent through the VPN.
There is a Windows box on the internal network with an HDD shared (by username and password).
This drive is accessible from all local devices just fine using \\192.168.1.21 address
However, when I am trying to access it from a computer that is connected to this network from outside via VPN, it is unreachable. At the same time, I can connect to that same computer using remote desktop (RDP).
I cannot figure out why the HDD is not accessible.
Not that I care, but I also see that the network discovery does not seem to work from the computer when it is connected via VPN.
On that client (Windows laptop), the network it is connected to, and the VPN are both configured as "private", so, in principle the network discovery should be allowed by the Windows firewall.
I suspect it is somehow related to the fact that that laptop has a 10.8.2.x address through the VPN, and that is a different subnet.
I wonder if I am forgetting to configure something in the VPN config to allow "comingling" of these two networks, or it is just a limitation of the VPN?
