Connecting to a Samba share over OpenVPN
This example is intended show how OpenVPN clients can connect to a Samba
share over a routed dev tun tunnel. If you are ethernet bridging (dev tap),
you probably don't need to follow these instructions, as OpenVPN clients
should see server-side machines in their network neighborhood.

For this example, we will assume that:

the server-side LAN uses a subnet of 10.66.0.0/24,
the VPN IP address pool uses 10.8.0.0/24 (as cited in the server directive
in the OpenVPN server configuration file),
the Samba server has an IP address of 10.66.0.4, and
the Samba server has already been configured and is reachable from the local
LAN.
If the Samba and OpenVPN servers are running on different machines, make
sure you've followed the section on expanding the scope of the VPN to
include additional machines.

Next, edit your Samba configuration file (smb.conf). Make sure the hosts
allow directive will permit OpenVPN clients coming from the 10.8.0.0/24
subnet to connect. For example:

hosts allow = 10.66.0.0/24 10.8.0.0/24 127.0.0.1If you are running the Samba
and OpenVPN servers on the same machine, you may want to edit the interfaces
directive in the smb.conf file to also listen on the TUN interface subnet of
10.8.0.0/24:

interfaces = 10.66.0.0/24 10.8.0.0/24If you are running the Samba and
OpenVPN servers on the same machine, connect from an OpenVPN client to a
Samba share using the folder name:

\\10.8.0.1\\sharenameIf the Samba and OpenVPN servers are on different
machines, use folder name:

\\10.66.0.4\sharenameFor example, from a command prompt window:

net use z: \\10.66.0.4\sharename /USER:myusername
