Title: Help Requested: Routing Clients through OpenVPN Interface
Post by: abracadabra111 on February 27, 2022, 09:23:52 pm
I can't seem to get clients routed through the OpenVPN interface that I created.

I'm using NordVPN and followed several guides (because each proved unsuccessful). My most recent attempt followed this: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=8998.0

The interface looks like it's active and working because it's listed on the Dashboard and has an IP address associated with it.

I've assigned clients specific IPs using the DHCPv4 service.

And I created a Firewall Alias for the VPN traffic that includes the desired local IP addresses to be routed through the VPN.

I'm new to OPNSense so I don't have a good understanding of firewall rules, so I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.

Can anyone help?

Happy to provide additional screenshots where needed.

I recently setup OpenVPN with selective routing and I used the rules from the WireGuard Selective Routing to External VPN Endpoint opnsense guide. https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-selective-routing.html
I did have to setup a port forward for ProtonVPN dns server and the and the lan rule I kept destination as any instead of the rfc1918 alias.
