Title: Can't access LAN IP of Access Point via Wireguard connection
Post by: Heiko910 on November 29, 2022, 02:28:22 AM
Hi there,
Thanks for having me.
I am a total noob to Opnsense and Wireguard, but i have successfully managed to setup an Opnsense router for my LAN and I established a Wireguard tunnel from an android client to my LAN.
I can access my Nas that is part of the local area network and i can even access the Opnsense router via the wireguard tunnel.
For some reason I cannot access one specific IP address in this Lan which happens to be the WebUI of my access point in the house. (192.168.1.254 in case that matters)
I have tried to ping that IP from the android device and i get a response immediately.
Does anyone have any idea why I can easily access all devices within that Subnet but i can access that AP?
Thanks in advance,
Heiko

Does this access point have a default gateway configured pointing to your OPNsense?

I think it does but so does my NAS.
I can access everything from a Wireguard client except this AP.

Mybe the AP will not respond to http/https (?) requests from foreign subnets. Some devices (or the desired service of those) have an option to explicity permit those requests.

Hey PMHAUSEN,
You fixed it.
You asked about the default gateway in the Access Point. I checked this morning. The default gateway was set to 0.0.0.0.
I changed it to the IP of the gateway and now I can access it via Wireguard.
Thanks again.
Problem solved!

I compared openwrt and found that this problem can be solved by setting snat
firewall - nat - outbound:
Select - Hybrid outbound NAT rule generation
Add rule - interface: lan, tcp/ip: ipv4, source address: wg net, destination address: lan net, translation/target: lan address
