DISCLAIMER: I don't use OpenVPN, but IKE/IPSec. In any case, similar routing |
| 64 |
principles apply. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Your printer is on a different subnet than your laptop. Therefore, unless you |
| 67 |
have set up routing in your VPN gateway from 192.168.151.0/24 to 10.0.0.0/24 I |
| 68 |
don't think you will be able to connect to the printer. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
In addition, follow the example that Michael has suggested above on your |
| 71 |
laptop to be able to route packets in it to 10.0.0.0/24 via the openvpn |
| 72 |
gateway. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
If you want to *only* allow connections to the printer, but not other devices |
| 75 |
within the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, then adjust the route declarations for |
| 76 |
10.0.0.106/32. |
