Hi everyone,
Firstly, many thanks to Home Network Guy for this great website: I was looking for resources to get started with OPNSense and then add on more and more features, and that's the perfect place to find this - big thanks!
I have a question about OpenVPN set up in the following use case :
- OPNSense is connected between the home internet access and the LAN
- I would like to route the traffic from OPNSense to a VPN server via OpenVPN
- so far, I have followed different tutorials, including this one found in this forum (although I don't look to use policy based routing for now) : https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/177167-policy-based-routing-via-vpn[/li][/list]
At this stage :
a) the OpenVPN client appears as "connected" in the screen VPN> OpenVPN> Connection Status : there are both a virtual and a real remote Ip address.
b) however, when checking the Ip address on a site such as ipinfo.io, the displayed Ip is the address provided by my ISP, not the one coming from the VPN service provider, although this address can be seen in the connection status (point a) above)
c) then, in the same VPN> OpenVPN> Connection Status screen, there is line for another vpn client. That line is empty though (no ip addresses) and it ends with a failed status. But I can't figure out where this comes from (please see attached screenshot).
I found different tutorials about OpenVPN set up in PfSense which mention things about adding routes, but these fields look different compared to the screens in OPNsense.
Because I kind of had to mix inputs from different sources, it's likely something is missing there, but any idea about how to solve this would be really welcome.
Many thanks !
Alex
