Trying to set VPN between home and work routers. VPN connection is established and both sides can ping each other routers:

ping 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.0.0 network

and

ping 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.1.0 network

But it is not possible reach other PC's inside of network on both sides:

traceroute to 192.168.1.159 (192.168.1.159), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  10.8.0.6 (10.8.0.6)  4.772 ms  6.997 ms  20.582 ms
 2  *  *  *

and

traceroute to 192.168.0.96 (192.168.0.96), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  10.8.0.1 (10.8.0.1)  11.630 ms  1.777 ms  1.645 ms

Is ping the only protocol not working, but is other traffic woking as desired? Or is no traffic routed as expected? - There two different types of VPN architectures: the Site-to-Site VPN and Remote access VPN , or otherwise known as the Road Warrior VPN. You need the first to achieve proper bi-directional traffic between networks and that usually requires additional routing changes (in one or both networks). https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/site-to-site-routing-explained-in-detail/

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
