I had to get the VPN address range masqueraded on the LAN as the gateway
address.. so for example:
VPN Server LAN IP: 192.168.1.20 (not the real thing, but doesn't matter)
VPN IP Range: 10.99.0.0
So when I connect through OpenVPN, my tunnel adaptor is given an ip like
10.99.0.5 (basically like a LAN, or your eth2).
What I did in IPTABLES is the following (eth0 is the LAN connection for
the VPN server)
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.99.0.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth0 -j
MASQUERADE
After that it worked. All connections to anything on the LAN appear as
if I am coming from 192.168.1.20. Just make sure that forwarding is
enabled (I believe it is required for masquerade):
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If it equals 0, change it to 1.
You may want to remove all the other entries you tried to get
LAN->Internet going to ensure there is nothing conflicting.
