Hi all,
Sorry if this happens to be a dual post, but my post from yesterday appears to have gone into the ether.
Please can I ask for some help from the experts with my home network setup?
I have added a mikrotik to my network, but not as my primary router. I have a TP-Link GB modem router as my primary, and I have added the mikrotik (10/100 only alas) for the sole purpose of providing a VPN entry point.
I have gotten pretty far, but I seem to be missing the final piece. The below image will help describe my problem, but in a nutshell, I can connect to the VPN, acquire an IP Address, and devices on my internal network can see (ping) my remote device.
I ended up putting my VPN clients on a second subnet, as I was able to get this to work on a single subnet, but ONLY if added a static route on my PC (Where I can route a single IP on mask 255.255.255.255 to the mikrotik, on the same LAN. On my TP-Link it is impossible to route within the same subnet - it just won’t allow it). This would have been OK, expect I can’t put static routes onto my Non-PC devices, primarily my IP Cams, so the only way I could see around this was with a different subnet, routing from my TP-Link back down the network to the mikrotik (sitting on my primary subnet).
All of this works, except the remote devices are not seeing clients on the network (However, they ARE seeing the routers, both the TP-Link (DNS and GW for the mikrotik) and the Mikrotik itself to which they are attached.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!! → Network Diagram below;
