Question

VPN hub in RMS seems to be a great service with easy setup and quick connection, but I can't reach any devices behind my router.
What am I missing???

I have a RUT955 with the latest firmware and RMS enabled in services.
RMS works fine.
Setup VPN hub and, called it Test, followed the steps as shown in the youtube video.
One note; the VPN hub creates a server IP 192.168.255.0 while my RUT955 is on 192.168.1.1
Added the RMS user, added the RUT955, put lan forwarding on, added routes (i.e. 192.168.1.108 for a Dahua camera)
Downloaded the OVPN file and added it to the OpenVPN app on my iphone.
Connection is made very fast and IP adres is provided 192.168.255.10
Tried connection to 192.168.1.108 with no luck. Neither with any of the other IP addresses behind the RUT955

Created a 2nd VPN hub but now changed the configuration to server IP adres 192.168.1.0
Iphone now gets 192.168.1.6 as IP address but stil can't reach any of the devices in the same network behind the RUT955

Questions;

- is it necesary at all to change the configuration and set the IP address of the VPN hub server to the same range as the RUT955?

- why can't I connect to any of the IP addressed behind the RUT955 (they can be reached with the same iphone when its part of the LAN)

Hello,

Sorry for my late response.

Basically, the VPN Hub tunnel IP addresses (192.168.255.0) do not need to be changed unless they duplicate those you use.

It is important to enter the right routes on the Hub and be sure your Dahua camera has a correct gateway (in your case 192.168.1.1). 

If the automatic scan on VPN Hub - Routes does not find your Dahua camera, then you can manually enter the entire LAN subnet, in your case it would be 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0.

Note you need to restart the VPN Hub via RMS to apply these changes. You may refer to this link for VPN Hub configuration example:
