Network routing to LAN systems with OpenVPN Server

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 15:40:22 +0100

To be able to access systems on the LAN network through the VPN tunnel of the OpenVPN server, the LAN system must know that traffic destined for the VPN subnet must be sent via the OpenVPN server. Without this additional route, return traffic will not reach the VPN clients.

In this example, we use the subnet 10.0.8.0/24 as the IP range you have configured for the OpenVPN tunnel. This is the network in which all VPN clients receive an IP address. To ensure that a device on the LAN can correctly send traffic back to these VPN clients, you must add a static route on that LAN device.

Automatically log in to Windows

Entering a password or PIN is not equally convenient for everyone.
Do you find it annoying to enter a password or PIN every time you log in to Windows?
You can also automatically log in to Windows. When the computer has finished starting up, you will immediately see the desktop. On the desktop you can make all your useful programs accessible and you have that immediately in front of you when you have turned on the computer. You can then immediately start using the computer, without having to enter a password or PIN first.
