WRT1900AC and OpenVPN with Macbook Pro

I'm trying to set up a VPN connection to my home network so I can access the shares on a WD My Cloud EX2 NAS device when I am absent in the same way as when I'm home and connected to the network.  Here is where I am: I have installed successufully Tunnelblick on my mac and to set up OpenVPN on the WRT1900AC.  When you are connected from an external network I can access my router and NAS using the LAN IP addresses as well as ping devices on the local network (printer, etc.).  What I can't do, is see the NAS on my mac, or use the links I created folders in the shares on the NAS.

I thought that the function of OpenVPN was supposed to connect to my network, I would be able to access these things?  Am I misunderstanding something here?  I understand that this connection will not carry my internet traffic through my router, but I don't care on this issue at this stage.  I just want a perfect access to the NAS at home.

Thank you!

VPN solutions have problems with DNS. I recommend the use of links address IP NAS instead of the NAS network name if that's how the links are currently configured.
