Route traffic from OpenVPN Server through Client

Posted on January 21, 2014

I have a VPN server running on a droplet, and a router is connected as a client to the server. I want to route IP traffic to a subnet behind this router. So I try to create the following static route:

The server is running an OpenVPN Server on the following subnet: 10.50.60.1/24 The router (client) is connected with the IP: 10.50.60.6 The subnet behind this router is: 192.168.14.0/24

So I try to create the following static route using:

route add -net 192.168.14.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.50.60.6

SIOCADDRT: No such process

  • or -

ip route add 192.168.14.0/24 via 10.50.60.6 dev tun0

RTNETLINK answers: No such process

Is it even possible what I’m trying to achieve, or how can I achieve the same result without having to create multiple site-to-site VPN’s for each client?
