16.7 Legacy Series / Re: OpenVPN client: route everything through VPN fails

Shouldn't the NAT outbound rule and firewall rule take care of this? In some guide I read, it is not correct to set OpenVPN connection as the default route.

I don't know how to debug this issue.

It looks like the OpenVPN tunnel is working.
What is not clear for me:
- Is the interface ovpnc1 correctly configured.
- Is the NAT outbound rule working.
- Is the gateway correctly configured.
- Is the firewall rull working correctly.

Any hints how this can be step by step checked?

16.7 Legacy Series / OpenVPN client: route everything through VPN fails

« on: September 16, 2016, 08:22:43 pm »

Hi all,

I fail to configure the OpenVPN client properly.

Desired behaviour: All traffic from LAN goes through the OpenVPN client interface connection (and then from the OpenVPN server endpoint to the internet).

Actual behaviour: The OpenVPN connection is working and I see a Initialization Sequence Completed in the log file.
All the traffic from the LAN interface  goes directly to WAN, however the desired behavior would be to go through the OpenVPN connection.

Resources I read so far and follow during the configuration process:

- https://wretmo.se/2016/01/24/how-to-setup-openvpn-client-on-opnsense/
- https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/sslvpn_s2s.html?highlight=openvpn#step-5-client-firewall-rules
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=1951.msg6073#msg6073

OpenVPN client log file:

What point do I miss here?
