I'm trying to set up an OpenVPN server on my QNAP Nas.
My network:
Router: 192.168.0.254
QNAP Nas: 192.168.0.5
Some other computer in LAN: 192.168.0.7
Subnet 255.255.255.0
I've forward port 1194 to 192.168.0.5 in my router. I can connect to the QNAP Nas OpenVPN server from an outside client but can't reach "Some other computer" through that connection.
server.conf
# OpenVPN server configuration QNAP NAS
local 192.168.0.5
proto udp
dev tun
# detect mtu if the connection is slow.
; mtu-test
# define mtu, if necessary
; tun-mtu xyz
# data compression
comp-lzo
# allow, that several clients with the same common name log on
; duplicate-cn
# different clients can "see" each other through the tunnel.
; client-to-client
# Keepalive
keepalive 15 120
# Log files
status /opt/etc/openvpn/log/status.log
log-append /opt/etc/openvpn/log/openvpn.log
# Run as daemon (activate, after everything is set up properly)
daemon
# Management Interface. Access with "telnet localhost 7505"
management localhost 7505
port 1194
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
dh /opt/etc/openvpn/keys/dh1024.pem
ca /opt/etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /opt/etc/openvpn/keys/server.crt
key /opt/etc/openvpn/keys/server.key
# route
push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"
client.conf
# Connect to QNAP OpenVPN Server
proto udp
dev tun
tls-client
pull
# set mtu, if necessary
; tun-mtu xyz
#
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
# test new in 2.1
remote-cert-tls server
#
comp-lzo
ca "ca.crt"
cert "client.crt"
key "client.key"
remote my.dyndns.com 1194
I'm little bit confused about "route…", "push route…", "server…"
Which option should point to which ip-address?
Feels like I'm missing something…
Thanks in advance!

To give you a short answer: The machine you are trying to reach can't answer your request, because it tries to send it trough its default gateway (your router). Try putting a static route in your router and it will work.
