I definitely have that enabled. Like I said, I can connect to it from a different device on the network, just not from a device "pretending" to be on the network via OpenVPN.
The tool tip gives the IP ranges that it opens up, can you make your OpenVPN network live in one of those ranges and try?
Would I change my IP address through my router settings or the OpenVPN app on my client? I cannot find a way to set the IP through my router settings.
In Mullvad, the IP ranges in that menu you mentioned are:
- 10.0.0.0/8
- 172.16.0.0/12
- 192.168.0.0/16
- 169.254.0.0/16
- 0xfe80::/10
- 0xfc00::/7
Connecting through OpenVPN gives me the IP address 192.168.254.2. In the OpenVPN app, changing my IP address makes it so I cannot ping any devices on the network.
Hmmm. I would think that would work, but this is about the extent of my networking knowledge, sorry. :(
Did you enable "Local network sharing" in the Mullvad app? It's possible that Mullvad is blocking all outside traffic.
