Device A (PLC, static IP=10.10.10.11) 
        |
        | eth0 connection 
        |
Device B (raspberry B 3,  Jessie)
        |
        | OpenVPN  
        |
Device C (laptop, Windows 8.1)

I am trying above setup.

The thing is Device B and Device C are OpenVPN clients connected to same OpenVPN access server.

My IP configurations are:

(Device A) PLC ---> 10.10.10.11 
(Device B)R-pi ---> 
cat /etc/dhcpcd.conf 

interface eth0 
static ip_address=10.10.10.10/24 
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

VPN network IP= 10.8.0.2
(Device C) Windows 8.1 --->
VPN network IP= 10.8.0.5

I have enabled Static routes on router.

But I am unable to even ping Device A from Device C.

So what else should I change for this to work?

Output of:

And Output of

  • I just discovered, I can't ping my PLC from Raspberry Pi when connected to VPN.

  • What is Siemens S7-200 Smart? Does it is a Desktop computer? If you can't ping the PLC(?) when VPN is connected then it seems to be a typical routing problem. Please execute these two commands on the RasPi: ip addr and ip route. Edit your question and copy and paste the output into it.

  • Siemens S7-200 Smart is PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). It does not have Desktop. Its a micro-controller.

You wrote that "Device B and Device C are OpenVPN clients connected to same OpenVPN access server". That is important because only the server can route traffic between the clients that are connected to it. So configure the server to forward ip packets on its (pseudo) interfaces and manage its routing table so traffic goes where you want. As far as I know the OpenVPN server has an option to set that clients can talk to each other.
