Hello,

I'm trying to set up a VPN (OpenVPN) to connect my Grandstream brand IP phones to my local PBX

I have configured many OpenVPN connections, both for independent users and connecting sites to each other, but this one resists me.

After talking with the manufacturer, this tells me that the connection configuration must be very specific for the phone to support it, and even has a guide where it is indicated. The configuration provided by the manufacturer is as follows:

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1"
client-to-client
cipher BF-CBC
comp-lzo
duplicate-cn
keepalive 10 120
max-clients 100
status openvpn-status.log
log openvpn.log
verb 7

The problem is that OPNsense does not let me import the configuration file, and when I create a VPN with the wizard I do not know how to configure the parameters, besides, I have opened the file /etc/var/openvpn/server1.conf and there are many more parameters that I do not need and possibly prevent the functioning of the VPN.
I have tryid to "traduct" the config file but without success...

Has someone managed to configure a VPN and connect Grandstream phones through its integrated OpenVPN client?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a Polycom videoconference system under a OPNsense router, the problem is that I cannot make the system to receive voice/image from the remote system (in another location).

The same system with another system works perfectly; I can call the remote system and establish a connection between them, without made any modification in the estandard configuration of the router; If I want the remote system call local system then I have to make some port mappings on the local router.

With OPNsense router I cam make an receive calls (with port mapping enabled) but cannot receive voice/image (on the other location can see and ear me without problem).

The only difference I have seen in both installation is the lan configuration:

- LAN working -> Standar router (192.168.1.1) -> Polycom IP 192.168.1.201

- LAN not working -> OPNsense router (10.0.0.247) -> Polycom IP 10.0.0.201

Anybody has any idea of how I can resolve the problem?

Thanks

I was triying to connect with OpenVPN Client but i haven't done it yet...

When I try to connect with OpenVPN GUI it Works perfectly... the problems is that I'm planning to use OpenVPN with some customers and I wanted anything more 'visual'...

I'm going to try with Viscosity... thanks...

Ok. I'm on the right way...

The first problem is the local port...

When I choose 'Use random local port' on Client Export, the .ovpn file adds the line 'lport 0' which gives the error 'Bad local port number: 0'... we need to assign another port or delete this line...

Hello,

I'm here again...

I have done this steps...

1. Create a Certify Authentication (under System->Trust->Authorities)

2. Create a Server Certificate using Certify Authentication created in step before (under System->Trust->Certificates)

3. Create a Client Certificate (same as step 2 but creating a Client Certificate)

4. Create an instance of OpenVPN server, using CA and Server Certificate
    (after this last step I can start OpenVPN service)

5 Add user and assign it Client Certificate (I have to create an user, save it and after that modify it and assign Client Certificate)

6. Go to Client Export and create a zip file with standard configuration

7. With this file and OpenVPN client I try to connect (from other PC on another location) but I always get 'process started and then immediately exited: []'... I have looked at OpenVPN logs but there's nothing...

Any idea?

Uff... I'm not sure how to do this...

I have createt an user under System->Access->Users
I have assigned this user Certificate created previously (with OpenVPN configuration wizard)

...what else? ...how do I assign privileges for OpenVPN?

Is there any guide or how-to configure an OpenVPN under OPNsense? ...I haven't found it and I'm recollecting information from PFsense and OpenVPN forums...

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm trying to configure an OpenVPN Server with OPNsense and when I create clients I'm unable to get the client install packages.

I go to Client Export tab but no the client list to export is always empty.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
