Cheers, a reboot did unstick it, now I just have base, kernel and opnsense packages left to update. We'll see how it goes later tonight!

20.7 Legacy Series / Update to 20.7.4 stuck

« on: October 29, 2020, 07:41:32 am »

Hi,

My upgrade to 20.7.4 has been at it all night trying to upgrade. It's currently stuck at something related to reloading plugins. See log below.

Otherwise the firewall is fully operational and I can do whatever I like through the GUI.

What should I do, reboot and try again?

Okay, a couple of things, I scrapped the X.509 stuff and went for pre-shared key only. Then I noticed that I had forgotten to open the new port in the FW (doh!). After fixing all that, now I get these new, but essentially worthless log messages in the OpenVPN log.

openvpn[42379]: Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: cipher final failed

After some googling I've managed to find out that it's probably a cipher mismatch somewhere, but now I have the fun task of trying to find that. The 4G router doesn't seem to offer much better logging than a combined syslog, and it doesn't show any errors. And OPNsense doesn't tell me more than the error above.

16.7 Legacy Series / Can't manage to figure out how to set up "Site-to-Site" OpenVPN

« on: November 14, 2016, 09:17:10 pm »

Okay, this is a bit noob from my side on so many levels, I'm clearly a bit too unfamiliar with OpenVPN to figure this out on my own, but here goes;

I have a 4G router (B+B SmartFlex to be exact) that I would like to tunnel site to site back to my home OPNSense FW.
I have the following limitations;
- 4G Router only gets a private IP from the carrier, aka. I can't use IPsec
- My ISP only gives me dynamic IP so I'm using DynDNS on the OPNSense side

These limitations forces me into OpenVPN, and this is where it gets a bit hairy

I've managed to get the TLS side working (I think). The router only supports 4 different auth modes for OpenVPN,  pre-shared secret, username/pass, X.509 client and multiclient, and the OPNSense wizard mode (TLS+username/pass) is not one of them.

The network setup so far;

OPNSense LAN 192.168.1.0/24
4GRouter LAN 192.168.2.0/24

Both the OPNsense and the router are at .1 in their respective subnets

The idea is to make everything in subnet 192.168.2.0/24 accessible from any IP in subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and vice versa.

In OPNsense I've configured a functioning VPN using the wizard, and now I've created a second server using the same CA but on port 1195 and Peer-to-Peer

I've set the following settings;

OPNsense:
Peer-to-Peer
UDP
tun
WAN
1195

IPv4 Tunnel Network: 192.168.6.0/24
Local Network: 192.168.1.0/24
IPv4 Remote Network: 192.168.2.0/24
Redirect gateway: no

On the 4G router I have the following settings;

Protocol: UDP
Port: 1195
Remote IP Address: <dnsname of OPNsense WAN>

Remote Subnet: 192.168.1.0
Remote Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Redirect gateway: no
Local Interface IP Address: 192.168.6.2
Remote Interface IP Address: 192.168.6.1

Auth Mode: X.509 client
Pre-shared secret: <OpenVPN 2048-bit TLS Key for the Server>
CA Cert: <Cert for OPNsense CA>
Local Cert: <User Cert>
Local Private Key: <User Private Key>


Now, I've gotten it so far that I don't a) get any errors in the TLS part, but now I get this on the router side;
2016-11-14 22:07:00 openvpn[4706]: SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting
2016-11-14 22:07:10 openvpn[4706]: Control Channel Authentication: using '/var/openvpn/secret1.pem' as a OpenVPN static key file

2016-11-14 22:07:12 openvpn[4706]: UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]<OPNsense Public IP>:1195
2016-11-14 22:09:12 openvpn[4706]: TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 120 seconds (check your network connectivity)
2016-11-14 22:09:12 openvpn[4706]: TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
2016-11-14 22:09:12 openvpn[4706]: /sbin/ifconfig tun0 0.0.0.0

I've tried almost everything by now and I'm all out of ideas!

16.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Bug in DynDNS settings with NameCheap

When trying to configure a DynDNS client for Namecheap the config page won't accept an empty username even though the help hints at NameCheap not requiring a username. Functioning workaround is to just write something random as the username, for me a single a worked just fine.

16.7 Legacy Series / Problem assigning NAT rule for Plex Media Server

« on: October 22, 2016, 12:43:07 am »

I'm trying to set up a rule to NAT traffic on port 32400 to an internal IP that runs the Plex Media Server. For some reason I seem to get the port open but the Plex cloud service refuses to accept that it can access the Plex server on that port, leading me to believe that something is wrong with my NAT. That I'm unfamiliar with OPNsense (just switched from pfSense) and that the Plex "port forwarding guide" isn't very well written might have something to do with it.

So far I've figured out the following;
Plex seems to use TCP and UDP, since they vaguely hint at making two NAT rules, one for UDP and one for TCP. As there is only one port I gather they both use the same port number, and as such a NAT rule with the protocol set to tcp/udp should work?

On the NAT rule page I've set the following options;
Disabled: No
No RDR: No
Interface: WAN
TCPIP: IPv4
Protocol: TCP/UDP

I left the advanced source settings alone

Destination / Invert: No
Destination: Any
Destination Port: From: Other 32400 To: Other 32400
Redirect target IP: <local IP of Plex Box>
Redirect target port: 32400

NAT reflection: Use system default
Filter Rule: Add associated rule

What have I messed up?
