OpenVPN: Why isn't a specific client pinged?
Problem: Doesn't ping over VPN Home PC. He can do himself, he can do others, but he can't. Others can ping each other.
The gist is below.
There are 3 machines: Laptop, Home PC (both Win 10) and VDS (Debian 9).
The VDS has an OpenVPN server. Server config looks like this
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh.pem
auth SHA512
tls-auth ta.key 0
topology subnet
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 108.61.10.10"
keepalive 10 120
cipher AES-256-CBC
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
crl-verify crl.pem
client
dev tun
proto udp
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
remote 140.82.11.11 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
auth SHA512
cipher AES-256-CBC
setenv opt block-outside-dns
key-direction 1

<ca> --- </ca>
<cert> --- </cert>
<key> --- </key>
<tls-auth> --- </tls-auth>

1) Check that Windows responds to ping. Firewall settings, antivirus and more.
2) In the server config, write client-to-client, this option will allow clients to see each other, and not just the server. Without it, clients are isolated from each other.
