Hi all,
I'm newer to OPNSense and pulling my hair out on something.
I enabled ssh yesterday to login from my local LAN to do a speed test directly from the CLI. I'm having speed issues and am trying to gather data to utilize in my negotiations with my ISP.
When I pull up putty and try to connect, it just times out. This morning, I occasionally (probably 1 out of 5 attempts) get a "connection was closed by 192.168.1.1" message instead.
How do I start looking at this? To my knowledge, I have enabled ssh as specified (checked password auth and listen on all interfaces -- this is to be temporary). There are no firewall rules I can see out of the norm that might be blocking such action. When I look at the logs, I see a pass from the anti-lockout rule, but no blocks.
I reinstalled ssh on opnsense, still same issues.
I would be very grateful for any assistance anyone could provide on this one!
shoud work
is openssh running?
is port probe (interfaces-diagnostics) shows remote text on "lanip":22?
I thought so too.
And yes to both your questions.
The PC I am trying to access from is in the VPN alias group to have its traffic go out to VPN, but I have connected to my wifi network as well (not in VPN group) and the same happens.
I'm assuming it's a rule somewhere, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.
Don't do speed tests FROM the opnsense. Do it THROUGH the opnsense, i.e. from a client in your LAN... ;-)
hard to tell without knowing the network configuration and rules. can you open the web-GUI from the same computer?
