Virtual private networks / ExpressVPN and OpnSense
« on: February 22, 2021, 04:39:23 am »
Hi Guys.
This is my first post here in the community. I just deploy OPNsense 21.1.1 in a Laptop with one single NIC and a capable vlan switch (Tp Link TL-SG108E 5.0 ) and everything goes smooth
I configured successfully ExpressVPN to fully forward my Home Network (Including Chromecast and so) thru ExpressVPN servers. The connection is OK. I can reach the internet, surf the web, and ifconfig.co or whatsmyipadress.com show me that I am using the ExpressVPN IP and a DNS test leak is showing me Cloudfare DNS and not my ISP ones. BUT, when I open Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, or Disney none of these sites fully loads. They stuck loading the thumbnails. In some cases, I reach the movie but cannot reproduce it. If I use the ExpressVPN Native app everything works as expected.
I haven't contacted ExpressVPN support because I first want to be sure is not a misconfiguration done by myself (btw I followed this wiki: https://www.expressvpn.com/es/support/vpn-setup/pfsense-with-expressvpn-openvpn/)
You guys can tell me any clues on this? Is there someone outside using ExpressVPN + OpnSense with success?. I can share the config snapshots In case anyone is able to help.
Thanks in advance.
