20.1 Legacy Series / Re: Assign static IP to OpenVPN user

« on: November 23, 2020, 10:39:43 am »

Hi,
Thanks for your response.

In regards to IP I orignally posted, they were typos, I meant 158 and so on. Apologies for that mistake.

The topology is configured to subnet. I have set the following

Code: [Select]

ifconfig-push x.y.z.158 255.255.255.0
I tried setting this up from GUI (VPN>OpenVPN>Client Specific Override><username>>Advanced Settings, but it does not work.
Then I created a file with <username> as filename in /var/etc/openvpn-csc/1/ and put the line in it. After this, it works flawlessly.

P.S.
I have upgraded the system to OPNsense 20.7.3 after my original post

So far, I have been using this method as a workaround, because I don't have a lot of users for this VPN server. However, I would like to have more permanent solution where I can set this up using GUI.

20.1 Legacy Series / Assign static IP to OpenVPN user

« on: October 14, 2020, 11:26:41 am »

Hi,
I have been trying to setup OpenVPN to assign static IP to VPN users. I have tried using Client Specific Overrides as follows:

Common name set as username,
IPv4 Tunnel Network set as a subnet of main tunnel (IPv4 Tunnel Network on Server is x.y.z.0/24, and this subnet is x.y.z.256/30)

I have tried with setting up IPv4 Local network set as nothing and x.y.z.258/32

I have also tried setting up advanced settings with "ifconfig-push x.y.z.257 x.y.z.258", "ifconfig-push x.y.z.258 x.y.z.257", "ifconfig-push x.y.z.257 255.255.255.0" and "ifconfig-push x.y.z.257 255.255.255.255"

I have tried restarting OpenVPN service

So far nothing works.

Do I have to re-create the .ovpn file and import again?  Do I have to generate user certificates? Currently I have setup to use only username/password as authentication method.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am new to OpnSense, so if you need any configs and logs, I would appreciate if you can point me the location of those files.

Apologies for my language.
