Found it (I believe) - at least one direction.
From NAS01 on HIS network I can reach internal clients on MY network provided that
- The OpenVPN server on MY network has "Manage Client-specific options" = NO
- The OpenVPN client on HIS network has "Use default gateway on remote network" selected
Logic: When trying to communicate with NAS02 on my network (192.168.0.2 ) from HIS network (10.0.1.0/24), this makes the VPN client use the default gateway on MY network to direct the traffic to NAS02.
This works with the OpenVPN client running on NAS01. I can't test this for real until he has his new router. I then need to move the OpenVPN client there to be really sure, but I do believe it will work .
Next step is to get it to work the other way as well..... I need to be able to access NAS01 on HIS network (10.0.1.186) from MY network (192.168.0.0/24). Need to dive into this as well.......
