Unless the OpenVPN server at school knows that your network is 192.168.23.?/? you can only reach 10.55.0.10. > I can't ping 192.168.23.1 - > there's no such route configured. Correct. That would mean the server at school needs an openvpn configuration option: route 192.168.23.? 255.255.255.? pointing to your OpenVPN tunnel. And of course the school network needs to know that your home network is reachable through the openvpn server. > In school if I am few LANs away from OpenVPN server and starting another > tunnel there, I can't reach 10.55.0.10 (I can always reach only > 10.55.0.2). Firewalling perhaps? Best bet: talk to the school's openvpn network administrators. Bring chocolate. Good luck.
