Hi, I've succesfully set up a VPN network using Softether VPN (both server and client)
Client can Always connect to the server, from client side I can Always ping the router and other elements connected on the server side when connected by wired CAT5 LAN. But if on server side I connect the main pc where the Softether VPN is installed to the router via wireless connection, from client side I can only ping PC address, but router and other PCs on the lan become unreachable.
I am using an access point to reach the router meaning
PC(with VPN server on) <--------->access point <-------> router
If I replace the access point with a switch everything goes fine, but I need wireless connection.
Please help, thanks
VPN works fine with Cable LAN but not with wireless

RTFM :)
Keyword: Promiscuous mode
You could bridge to a virtual tap-device and doing NAT (for a linux based server it should work like http://07q.de/tut1 and http://07q.de/tut2)
If your server runs windows, you keyword is Internet Connection Sharing. You should "share" your real wireless adapter for the virtual vpn adapter.
