Thanks guys for your help! I was somehow sleeping. I adjusted the NAT settings as Dimi3 suggested and also added LAN rules as Animosity022 stated. Now everything works as expected.

18.1 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Cannot get OpenVPN client to work for VPN service

« on: April 08, 2018, 10:44:06 pm »

I recently switched from pfsense to opnsense, and I must say that I am really happy with this so far. However, there is one feature I cannot get to work. On my old router I setup a OpenVPN client to let the traffic from my server (single ip) pass through a VPN service from Private Internet Access. I tried setting this up in OPNsense, but when I enable the VPN Client internet for my whole network fails. I am really scratching my head why this is.

I did the following steps:

1) Setup the VPN through the guide provided at: https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005760606-Setting-up-a-Router-running-pfSense-Firmware

I have the idea that this is working, because the Status page at OpenVPN shows the following:


2) Assigned an interface

I assigned a interface for the VPN client called "PIA_OPNVPN", mapped to ovpnc1. Afterwards i checked "Enable interface" and let the other settings at there default.

3) Create alias for my server containing my server's IP address and alias name "Home_Server"
4) Configure Outbound NAT

I set outbound NAT to manual and setup the following rules:


After this configuration, when I start the OpenVPN Client my whole internet stops working. Disabling the client brings internet up again.

Can someone please help me getting this to work? Thank you!
