  • This worked like a charm, but can you explain how the IP addressing structure works? I need my remote computer on my home's LAN, but once I'm connected to it through OpenVPN, I don't see an IP address matching my network's subnet (i.e. 192.168.7.x) for my TAP adapter. The TAP address is like a 10.8.0.6, and the DHCP server is 10.8.0.5. Here's what I get on my remote PC when connected to my home's LAN via OpenVPN:

    My home's LAN (via the eero) is 192.168.7.0/24. I thought I read somewhere that's it's not a good idea to have the same client and server network addresses in OpenVPN. I'm just trying to wrap my brain around this. I've used ClearOS for years and OpenVPN for a number of those, but I've never completely understood how it works.
