FAQ
What is the usable IP range of 192.168.1.0/24?
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. 192.168.1.0 is the network address and 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address.
Why does my VPN not work when both networks use 192.168.1.0/24?
Your computer cannot tell whether 192.168.1.x is local or on the remote side, so it sends the traffic to the local LAN. Renumber one side, for example to 192.168.50.0/24, or use NAT on the VPN.
