Yeah, I'm connected to the wifi, and I have the ip for the pi set to 192.168.1.130. I have no clue what the addresses are for the laptop or the phone im using to connect to the pi though, particuarally because I'm using my phone to create a hotspot for the laptop to connect to.
The other IP addresses are needed if you want more help. You should be able to supply the LAN IP address of the router. Is it a DHCP server? Is the IP address assigned to the RPi static?
The OpenVPN server configuration from your OpenWrt router would also be useful. In particular, the OpenVPN subnet. Where is the OpenVPN client being run? What is its configuration?
You are creating a fairly complex network with lots of routing going on. Not only do packets have to work their way through this maze to the RPi, the RPi has to be able to find the path back to the originator.
Please take the time necessary to collect all the information. One piece at a time doesn't help me help you. Alternatively, we can just call it quits at this point. Its your choice.
Hi, I know this is an old thread but I seem to be having the same problem as novaviper so maybe you could help! I've got openVPN server set up on my tplink router at home and can connect to it via the open VPN client on my android phone (and through my laptop on lubuntu using my phone as a hotspot) the VPN server uses IP addresses 10.8.0.0/255.255.255.0 and the home internal IP addresses are from 192.168.1.100 to 255 (static addresses are in the range 192.168.1.100 - 120) It seems to connect to the VPN server fine and gives me an IP address (10.8.0.06 for instance) but I can't access octoprint (static IP 192.168.1.112) I'm guessing its some sort of routing issue but I'm at the end of my knowledge so could do with some help! I'm thinking if I changed the VPN address designation to just being 192.168.1.115 and made sure I didn't assign anything to that in my static IP address table that might work? Thanks in advance!
You are correct, it is a routing problem. What you can't do is change the VPN address to 192.168.1.x because packets need to be routed because they are NOT on the same subnet as your home internal network.
I'm not familiar with a tp-link router or an android phone (or lubuntu for that matter) but I am familiar with OpenVPN. The client I use on Windows 10 generates a log file when I connect and we need to examine that log to see what the OpenVPN server on the tp-link router is sending to the android phone client.
Are you running the OpenVPN client on lubuntu or just connecting to the hotspot on the phone which is running the OpenVPN client? If you are running the OpenVPN client on lubuntu, then there should be a log file there we can also examine.
You should also be able to connect to the tp-link router's web interface so some screenshots of the OpenVPN configuration pages might also be useful.
Finally, if you stay here in this forum, there's a limited number of people with the necessary knowledge. I'd suggest looking for tp-link forums, forums for the android OpenVPN app, OpenVPN forums, and/or lubuntu forums. Any of those will probably have more expertise available.
Hi, Thanks for your prompt response. I think ive found all the information you asked for! I found the log on the android openvpn client, i connected and then disconnected and this is the log output for that:

Im running openvpn directly on lubuntu and just turning the hotspot on the phone on (not connected to the vpn on phone) i cant find a log but the 2 screen shots below show the connection information when its connected. Ive also attached a screenshot of the openvpn configuration screen on the tp link router. I know what you mean about looking for more information elsewhere but im struggling to know what to look for! Ive tried all the google terms i can think of but i never seem to find anything of use! Thanks again for your help.
The android connection log looks pretty much the same as the log I see on my working OpenVPN connection. I'd like to see a "route" or "route print" command on android as well as the output from "traceroute 192.168.1.112" if that's even possible.
For lubuntu, take a look at this. You should be able to do the route and traceroute commands. I use "screen -L" to generate a log file of my terminal commands on my Linux distributions.
I'm not sure where the 192.168.43.x addresses come from.
I dont have a clue how to do that on android im afraid! I delved into the lubuntu filesystem though and found the log file mentioned from that link. I disconnected the wired connection from my laptop, connected to my phone hotspot and then connected to the openvpn connection on my laptop. Then i tried to open octoprint in a browser (via static ip address 192.168.1.112) waited for a minute and then disconnected from the openvpn connection. I think this is all the relevant information from the log file:

Does that mean its not getting through?
That is exactly what that means. I would have expected the packets to at least make it one or two hops. Try "traceroute 10.8.0.5" and "traceroute 10.8.0.1".
Another experiment to try is to take your laptop somewhere with free WiFi and try this experiment again. This would help determine if the android hotspot is the problem.
Can you describe your home network in a bit more detail (model numbers, modem type, switches, etc.)?
Dammit! I can see why people don't bother using a VPN now! I'm at work at the moment but I'll try it when I get home! As far as the network goes I've got the main modem/router (tplink archer vr900) connected to the phone socket (it's a fibre connection if that makes any difference) and then another router wired to that (tplink archer a7) which is in ap mode. That's it basically, no network switches or anything like that. Just some things plugged into the routers. I did try when connected to WiFi on my phone at my mum's house, it connected to the VPN but wouldn't load octoprint still.
Perhaps it's time to shift gears. From https://community.octoprint.org/t/a-guide-to-safe-remote-access-of-octoprint/3716/60:
There is now a plugin named Ngrok Tunnel in the plugin repository that creates a secure alternative to port forwarding that is easy to set up. It secures your communication with SSL (HTTPS) and Basic Authentication (username/password), and does not require you to open up your network in any way.
Yes I did see that but was hoping this would work as I also have a home assistant server I would of liked to access! Was hoping it was going to be a simple fix that was above my knowledge level but it seems a bit more complex than that so I'll give that plugin a go instead. Thank you so much for all your help and patience though, you're a credit to this community! Regards
I'm beginning to think it's one of the tp-link routers. Why two? Which one has the VPN? Which one is OctoPrint connected to?
So i found a thread (despite searching the same term ive done in the past and not seen it!) and apparently there might be a bug in tplink routers where the automatic routing doesnt work properly to route the vpn subnet to the main lan. Ive now set the vpn address pool to be on the same superset as the lan (so 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.240) and i seem to be getting a response on the traceroute command you asked me to do earlier! this is now the output:
dansharpy@dan-lubuntu:~$ route

dansharpy@dan-lubuntu:~$
Whilst this looks a bit more promising i still cant connect to octoprint through a browser!
The article also mentions setting up a route between the lan and vpn subnets but im not sure how to do this. I found a setting called static routing in the router interface but dont really know what to put in!
In response to the above, i have alot of smart home wifi devices and the modem/router connected to the phone line couldnt deal with them allso i added the second to spread the load which solved the problem. The VPN is set up on the main modem/router which is the same one octoprint connects to.
Also just tried a different way, activating the vpn on the phone being used as a hotspot and then doing traceroute on the laptop and i get this response:
dansharpy@dan-lubuntu:~$ traceroute 192.168.1.112

Dont know if that helps or not!
The traceroute is reaching 192.168.1.112 so it should be working!
It would have been better if you had said "I found this thread, (URL added here)."
The VPN address pool on the "main router" tp-link doesn't need to be 255.255.255.240, 255.255.255.0 should be fine.
After reading this thread, I want you to try another change. On the tp-link router, change the service type to TCP. You will have to export the configuration again and put it on your android phone.
What app are you using on your android phone?

Oh my god it worked!!! I changed the protocol to TCP, and used the other android app mentioned on the thread you linked and it connecting fine on my android phone and I can access octoprint! Also just tried on my laptop (with new config file) whilst connected to android hotspot and that works too!! Seems UDP was the problem then. Thank you so much for all your help and patience b-morgan, as I said before you're a credit to the community!
I'm not sure what I'm seeing but you'd think that your /28 mask would be seen in the routing table if it were correctly configured.
Hello guys,
is there some sort of guide how to access Octoprint remotely from phone when outside?
Thanks
I know this topic is getting pretty large (and therefore should probably be locked) but if you read it from the beginning you would have seen in the 10th post, https://octoprint.org/blog/2018/09/03/safe-remote-access/.
If this guide doesn't provide the answer you are seeking, please open a new Get Help ticket filling in the template, ask a specific question, and add any links to sections of the guide or specific posts in this thread that might be relevant.
