Virtual private networks / making opnsense tailscale use an exit node in the cloud
« on: November 05, 2023, 12:31:55 am »
Hi,
I have tailscale installed on opnsense and clients for all my devices including one in the cloud. The one in the cloud is the exit node- so that in effect tailscale is used as a vpn for exiting out to the internet. All clients except opnsense router recognize and use the exit node- when requested by client. I can tell by checking whatsmyip.
What I am trying to do is have opnsense route all traffic through that cloud exit node. The idea would then be it wouldnt have to be chosen on each client.
I am assuming that this requires telling opnsense to route all traffic through the tailscale interface. How is that done /what rule do I set up to achieve that? I am assuming that once done I could use any browser on any device and have it show the whatsmyip point to the cloud machine exit node address. Or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks for whatever advice can be provided...

20.1 Legacy Series / DNS not working when I setup NORDVPN openvpn client -doesnt resolve -any ideas?
« on: April 08, 2020, 12:29:32 am »
Hi,
I really like opnsense and plan to move over from pf sense if I can get everything working. Under pfsense I have standard firewall of not letting anything and having pfsense configured to Nordvpn. Since I have everything working through that, i am trying to setup opnsense on different machine (behind pfsense firewall initially) .the opnsense install went perfectly as did adding the zerotier plugin.
In order to replace pfsense with opnsense I have to get the nordvpn openvpn client working. I went through all the instructions and I appear to have the nordvpn interface working in terms of traffic as seen on the traffic graph, and opnsense says the status is up and I have ip address for it etc.
What does not work is the DNS resolution. Following NORVPN instructions- I have undound DNS -general - set to enable outbound, network interfaces all, register DHCP leases, Enable forarding mode , and outgoing network interfaces =NORDVPN -everything else blank or unchecked. when i bring up web browser to do search it cant resolve.
Because the traffic graph shows the NORDVPN interface as active along with WAN and LAN, I am assuming this is opnsense DNS related not NORDVPN related. Has anyone else experienced this when trying to set up NORDVPN? I used instructions for 19.1 opnsense nordvpn - version of opnsense used is 20.1.3
Thanks

19.1 Legacy Series / install causes screen blank out about half way through
« on: May 04, 2019, 06:15:19 pm »
just trying to install opnSense on standalone computer to be used as router. the normal freebsd listings go on till about half way through, and then my screen goes black and computer seems to stall, SSH doesnt work at this point from another computer because it hasnt fully installed. cd and usb stick versions result in same. tried both hdmi and vga db9 connections. both cause same thing. Install fine on virtual machine. on this computer everything else installs fine including pfsense. Has anyone else seen this type of behaviour on install? Thanks
