12 Does the VPN server also have a 10.0.0.x address? If so, you just need
13 to tell the VPN clients that they can reach the 10.0.0.x network via the
14 VPN, i.e. by routing through your VPN server.
15
16 We have pretty much the same setup, with our VPN server sitting on
17 10.1.1.1 with some other private IP address. This is the client config
18 for the OpenVPN server:
19
20 # cat /etc/openvpn/client-config/DEFAULT
21 push "route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0"
22
23 Then you point to that in openvpn.conf (also on the server):
24
25 # grep client-config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
26 client-config-dir client-config
27
28 After that, any new client connections will just know that 10.1.1.x can
29 be reached over the VPN.
