Need help with PPTP / DHCP for accessing network resources via VPN

So I’m trying to understand how to get my remote (VPN) clients to be treated as if they’re on the local network. I have a Bridge device configured and in proxy-arp mode, I have a DHCP server that is successfully handing out IPs to both my LAN clients and my VPN clients, but instead of the same network for VPN clients as for LAN clients, I get 10.0.10.(IP-1), e.g. 10.0.10.253 gets a network of 10.0.10.252. I’m not sure what I’m missing here; I want these devices to be treated as on the same network so we can access network shares/etc, and if possible I’m trying to avoid IP routing.

What can I provide to help figure out what I’m missing here, or is it just not possible to get the VPN clients to hit the same network as the LAN/WLAN clients? I tried assigned the PPP profile to my LAN/WLAN bridge, but it didn’t seem to help. Thanks in advance for any advice and sorry if this seems a silly question - I don’t have a lot of experience in networking (8 years doing call center product-based tech support, finally working Real IT for a tech mgmt/MSP company who’s willing to train me but most of my training is self-directed things like this).

Post an export. To do so, open a New Terminal, and issue

/export

Then copy & paste the output here.

You are complicating yourself trying to make Wifi, LAN and VPN to use the same network segment, and that’s not best practice either…

Don’t be afraid of routing, as its own name implies, RouterOS will do everything for you, and everything will work as long as proper gateway IP addresses are handed out to clients by DHCP for Wireless/LAN and VPN PPP ip pool setup.
