RE: Problem Found! - Firewall Rule

Your local IP is the same as the remote networks IP.. so how is the local machine to know that 192.168.0.55 or 66 or 32 is on the VPN!?
 
The only way I know is to proxyarp the ppp device that the vpn is running on.. I'm assuming it's PPTP so you could try this command when the VPN comes up :
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$VPNDEV/proxy_arp
 
and this must be done on the VPN server too..
I've never done it this way with a VPN.. but you can only try it..
 
I'm surprised that anything really works properly the way you've done it because the firewall has 2 network devices with the same IP range.

Thanks,

Subject: Problem Found! - Firewall Rule

Hello Folks, its me again :(
 
Below is my config. My problem is, I can connect to VPN but for some reason, I cannot see machines inside the network after being connected. Can somebody give me the simpliest firewall rule on this? just for me to see the machines inside the network.
 
Thanks!
