Firmware Version: 1.2.0 Build 20191014 rel.33289(4555)

Hello,
I configured OpenVPN in router settings, like it is in FAQ.
Default subnet is 192.168.1.0, and VPN subnet is 10.8.0.0.
Connection is UDP and i tried both client access options.
Remote IP is set to DDNS, becouse my public IP is dynamic.
This is how configuration file looks.

----------
client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
remote-cert-tls server
persist-key
persist-tun
remote adress port
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
SOME KEY
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
SOME KEY
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>
<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>

I tried accessing local machine (remote desktop) using laptop connected to another network and router by OpenVPN connection.

@wino97 

 

Once you connected to the router's OpenVPN, it will be detected as a different subnet from the device which connects to the local network.

 

You can try to enable remote management and verify whether you can access local devices. 

 

May it help.

@Kevin_Z 
Remote management doesn't change anything.
I tried connect remotely from my phone, and it works by PC name, but i can't connect trough VPN to remote desktop by name from laptop for some reason. (connecting by IP works)
I had some configuration in hosts file from the past, but i cleared it.
I tried ping PC name, and ping couldn't find device, on the other hand, connecting or pinging by name on local network works fine.
