VPN to server (network 1) passed through to another network (network 2) possible...?

[Engineer]

Bear with me as I'm not a networking guy so if I ask something "goofy", let me know.

My company has installed an automation project that we need to access at a clients facility. Currently, we have a VPN to our installed server on network card #1. As far as I know, the server has a 2nd network card that is on network #2. Is there a way that we can go through the customer's Citrix VPN (which allows access on the server network #1) and pass though to the network #2?

ME <-------VPN---------> [network 1: Server : Network 2] <---??-----> stuff?

Network 1 is in the 10.24.1.16x range

Network 2 is in the 192.168.220.xxx range

Possible to use the ROUTE command or something similar on the server (or on in combination with my work PC) to accomplish me being able to access the 192.168.220.xxx IP range through the VPN?

I know that the best solution would be to place the 192.168.220.xxx range on it's own VPN but the customer doesn't want to do that (don't know why). Any idea's or suggestions would be appreciated.

Remember...I'm not a networking guy, lol...so don't throw too much terminology at me! 😛

Need many more details on the setup to determine whether or not it's possible without involving the IT department. Chances are, though, it's not. You're going to need to talk to whoever is responsible for setting up the VPN tunnel and have them modify the traffic selector, etc.

There are a LOT of different ways to set this up, and without knowing how it's set up, there's almost no way to advise on how to make it work the way you want it to work.

Sorry, don't know much else. I know it's a Citrix VPN client but no other details. I do know that both networks share the same HP Procurve switch but are different VLANS. Seems like the customer could simply add the other subnet to the VPN or even create a new VPN just for that subnet with no issue but he seemed hesitant and wasn't sure that he could do that or not.

Sucks trying to do something that needs to be done but don't know how to do it, lol.

The sad part is that I have to test all of this from my home as my own IT department isn't helpful enough to allow us to VPN to the customer's network for support (i.e. won't open up the ports, etc). We have even left the office and driven across the street to use the free wi-fi from local businesses (hotels, etc) to VPN to customer's sites for remote support (sigh).
