How to Access Other VLAN Segments using Open VPN

When VPN tunnelling into a network you will by default land on the main VLAN segment. If you want to land on a different segment you edit the Open VPN config file to specify this. 

Let us say the the main LAN on the clients site in this instance is 10.1.1.x and the CCTV VLAN us 10.1.2.x.

You can simply edit the .OPVN file and add "route 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0” to the option section at the top of the file before the certificates.  Now you simply connect to the VPN and you land on the desired VLAN segment.
