Two Routers VPN Community Wireless

[Troy]

Hi

I have been working on this configuration for the last couple of years on
and off.

My situation is this, I have two locations House1 and House2 that have two
routers, one that goes out to the internet and one that goes out to the
Community Wireless(CW). The CW routers are NB5540 which are not longer
manuafctured but were cheap and could establish VPN endpoints.

I have added the following routes to the PC :
route add 192.168.11.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.12.1 and
route add 10.190.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.12.1.

As you can see house1 subnet is 192.168.12.0 and house2 subnet is
192.168.11.0. I have established a VPN between the two houses. All appears
to be working however although I can ping devices on the 192.168.11.0 subnet
I can not connect via their web interface in Explorer.

Have I made some fundamental errors with this setup? Any ideas welcome.

Regards
Troy

We have some issues with this routing table. If you want to access the you should have route point to 0.0.0.0 depends on which router you use. Or if you have another router as default gateway, we need to see the routing table.

Thank you for your reply.

The routing table is standard with the primary gateway at 192.168.12.138.
My understanding of this is that with this gateway and the added routes,
that all traffic goes out the primary gateway at 192.168.12.138 (internet
0.0.0.0) unless that traffic is for the 10.190.0.0 and 192.168.11.0
(Community Wireless and House2) subnets which goes out the secondary
'gateway' at (192.168.12.1).

I think I have a understanding of how routes work from the PC but combine
them with the Route tables in the router and I come unstuck. Do the Route
tables in the Router even come into play when the VPN tunnel is established?

If it would help I can bring the actual routing table in tomorrow from home.

As I said everything appears to be functional except for the web interface
issue.

I have read many articles from the internet over the years including the
sites you referenced and many more. I am still to find a site that explains
my setup. All the articles that I have read about VPN's always assume its
using the internet (primary router) to establish the VPN. I know my setup is
unusual but I would not thing it's so rare.


Appreciate your input

Assuming the 192.168.12.2 can't access the internet, can it ping a public IP?

Hi Robert

I can do everything except open a web interface or telnet on the 192.168.11.0 subnet. I have full access to the internet via 192.168.12.138 and full access to the public wireless community on 10.190.0.0 subnet which allows me to ping and open web pages on both.
