OPENVPN connect successfully. I can ping my server but I can't ping any desktop computer.

I already tried it on Windows 7 and Windows 10 operating system.
Both computers firewall is off. Computer #1 connected on the OPENVPN and Computer #2 are connected to the server network.

It seems the problem are in the server. Is there a solution for this?

So the problem is not ClearOS. 10.210.1.3 is not replying. Are you sure its firewall is stopped? Alternatively, you could try enabling "Enable NAT (Gateway mode only)" in the OpenVPN app.

    Your system is out of date. If you have automatic updates enabled, see this sticky, but if your firewall is really disabled on #2 then you have a networking problem with #2 as it is either not responding or the responses are going elsewhere.


    That's why I don't see the Additional Settings. I update. Now I toggle on "Enable NAT (Gateway mode only)" it's working fine now. Thanks Nick.

    Yes I already turn off the firewall on both device.

    I don't see settings that enable NAT (Gateway mode only)

    So the answer is that you are connecting from 192.168.1.4/255.255.255.0.

    In ssh, please run:
    tcpdump -nni enp2s0 '(icmp and host computer_#2_IP)'
    Then try pinging #2 from #1. ctrl+c to terminate the logging.

    If you are using PuTTy to access ClearOS by SSH, you can copy from it just by selecting the text and paste into it by right-clicking. Please put any results inside "code" tags (the piece of paper icon with a <> on it)

    I am confused as to how you are connecting. Is #1 on the WAN interface subnet or is it fully external, so out on the internet? I wanted to know what LAN subnet its normal interface is connected to when external to ClearOS and not the subnet mask. Perhaps just give the output from "ipconfig" from the PC.


    Sorry I'm quite lost where to look for the correct settings.

    See the attachment for the ipconfig on my home computer.

    ClearOS - 255.255.255.0
    Computer #1 - 255.255.255.252 (TAP Adapter)

    Yes it's external.
