Possible to change assigned VPN subnet?

Possible to change assigned VPN subnet?

I'm not talking about Host/CIDR for private resources, I'm talking about the IP assigned to clients on the VPN.

For example, when I connect using the Pangolin client, it assigns an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.3, pic), but my LAN network is also 192.168.1.x. I curious if it's possible to have Pangolin use a different subnet, so as not to create confusion between the two networks.

Hosting LAN Party over Pangolin

My friends and I like to play old games, some of which only work over LAN.

I tried to set my friend up with a Pangolin client to access my private LAN resources (CIDR 192.168.1.0/24, TCP/UDP all ports allowed). He could ping my computer IP, but for some reason when one of us would create a game, the other person couldn't see it.

We've also tried this on an actual LAN without issue, so I'm curious what else we might try to make a VPN connection act more like a LAN connection. A couple other points:

  • I made sure access controls were correct, my friend in the "friends" role, and allowing "friends" to access the private resource.

  • Windows Firewall Defender allowing access to the game app. Even tried turning it off completely to test.

Any thoughts as to what might be blocking two computers one on LAN, one connected via Pangolin client from talking to each other?
