Hi all,
I'm a brand new user and loving learning the OpnSense product so I can start to introduce it to my customers, especially those I'm migrating to the cloud that need a virtual appliance.
I have setup an OpnSense Business Edition Firewall and followed the excellent documentation to setup an OpenVPN server using TOTP Authentication and I can connect my test client with no issues.
Once Connected though, I need to be able to access the LAN based servers in the datacentre so have tried testing using ping.
My setup is:
OPNsense 20.1.9-amd64
OpenVPN Tunnel Network: 10.99.0.0/24
LAN: 192.168.123.0/24
I've connected using OpenVPN Connect and run a continuous ping from my laptop (assigned the address 10.99.0.6) to 192.168.123.10 and I get "Request Timed Out"
I've had a look at the firewall logs, live view, and filtered to show source ip = 10.99.0.6 and I can see that the
ping is being blocked by the "Default deny rule" (see attachment 1)
I've tried to find where this is and how to disable it so I can continue testing connectivity between the datacentre, openvpn users and the remote sites.
I've clicked on the "i" symbol next to it which gives more info, but as a newbie, I'm not sure how to overcome this stumbling block. (see attachment 2)
Please could somebody help me?
Thanks in advance
Scott
Hi,
I've managed to work it out!
After activating and setting up OpenVPN, there is new section under "Firewall" > "Rules" > "OpenVPN"
This had no rules in there so I added a new rule as follows:
Action: Pass
Interface: OpenVPN
Protocol: IPv4
Source: OpenVPN net
Destination: LAN net
and now ping is working.
Thanks
Scott
Now, how do I mark this as solved?
Thanks for letting us know, you can change the titel of the topic, which I've just done for you.
