I'm fairly new to using VPN. For a home project I'm running a OpenVPN server. This server runs within a network 192.168.2.0 and subnet 255.255.255.0

I can connect to this net work using the ip range 5.5.0.0 I guess the subnet is 255.255.255.192, but I'm not really sure about that.

When connecting to my VPN network I can access the server via 5.5.0.1 and I can see the samba shares created on that machine. However I'm not allowed to connect to the samba share. When I look at the samba log of the computer which tries to connect I can see these messages:

lib/access.c:338(allow_access) Denied connection from 5.5.0.132 (5.5.0.132)

These are the share definition in /etc/samba/smb.conf

interfaces = 192.168.2.0/32 5.5.0.0/24
security = user

#   wins-support = no
#   wins-server = w.x.y.z.
// A LOT OF MORE SETTINGS AND COMMENTS

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 5.5.0.132/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
browseable = yes
path = [path to share]
directory mask = 0755
force create mode = 0755
valid users = [a valid user, which i use to login with]
writeable = yes
force group = [the group i force to write with]
force user = [the user i force to write with]

This is the output of the ifconfig command
