Remote desktop to Client connected through OpenVPN - Questions

[vshaulsk]

I have several remote clients which OpenVPN to connect to the Network shares and other servers running on the LAN. Everything works fine there.

Today I however tried to connect to one of those clients using remote desktop (the user was having some issues).  I however was not able to connect.  Remote desktop works if the client is at the office and connected to the network, but I can not get it to work if the client is remote and just connect through OpenVPN

Is it even possible to connect to the client?  I tried to ping the client using the OpenVPN address (192.168.160.2), but that did not work either.

Any help or direction will be most appreciated !!!

Thank you !!!

Could the RDP connection not be going through because of how the TAP interface is configured on the client side?

Does it matter if the TAP interface is listed as home, work, public or unknown network?

Do you have ?
under VPN-->Your_VPN_SERVER-->Server Configuration
Network Address Translation checked
Allow client-to-client connections: checked

It works here and these are my settings.

Yes I do have both of those checked.

My VPN seems to work fine and the clients can view all the network shares.

I can see the clients under windows network from my LAN computer.

I just can't connect RDP to those clients.... Also I can't ping the clients

I don't mean to offend but is remote access enabled on those machines?  Does turning off firewall make any difference?  I use RDP via the vpn all of the time. Apples to apples this is a 2.2 system that I am talking about.

Yes the remote desktop is enabled on the clients and remote desktop works when those clients are in the office and connected to one office Vlan's

I have also tried turning off the firewall and that did not do anything either

It is almost like the connection is one directional .... from the client to the internal network, but not from the internal network to the client
