Title: Newbie following OpnSense Road Warrior OpenVPN guide not working
Post by: SideOfRanch on March 13, 2023, 11:37:26 PM
I'm in vacation and trying to get my new OpnSense server configured for OpenVPN. I have acess via a server with TeamViewer install that's on my local  So I've gone through the guide twice fully and rebuilt everything after feeling more confident where I might've gone wrong.

Guide I'm referencing and happy to propose doc modifications, if I can figure out where I went wrong: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/sslvpn_client.html

I'm able to connect with my user ID using  MFA but then I can't access internet through the VPN or any of my LAN servers.

A few parts of the guide don't line up to the most recent interface but most of it did.

1. In the provided screenshots for the firewall rules on WAN and OpenVPN it isn't clear what order to put them in. I have a bunch of default rules in two folders. By default, it out both of the rules below the folders. I cannot figure out if that might be causing the issue? I'm using a vanilla install with almost no customization at the moment.
2. The page that seems to have the most variation to the guide is the OpenVPN server configuration.  Here is recommended configuration on that page above:
(Sorry for below formatting, in my cell but will fix when I can. Format is setting {line return} configuration recommendation.

Dang, wish the wizard was more clear from the outset, but I got it working with this! Thank you. Still have some kinks to work out but generally its connected on both my mobile phone and my laptop, so that's great!
