Virtual private networks / Re: IPSec "Road Warrior" VPN Setup between OPNSense 20.7 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I appear to have fixed it after a bit more googling. In addition to the extra charon package, you also need to install an extra strongswan package too.

sudo apt-get -y install libstrongswan-extra-plugins

With that added, the VPN connects.

You have to use the matrix at the bottom where correct lient and server config are linked:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-rw.html

I tested it with Ubuntu 18.04

Just to say I've followed all the steps and its failing again at the last step.

I'm guessing that's the key log entry, what have I missed?

I tested it with Ubuntu 18.04

Yes, those are two of the guides I followed. I'll delete everything and try from scratch again. But it only seems to be failing on the EAP challenge.

btw, you need to tweak your Linux Remote Access guide as you need to include the extra package I mentioned above in 20.04, otherwise strongswan doesn't know anything about EAP-MSCHAPv2.

Virtual private networks / IPSec "Road Warrior" VPN Setup between OPNSense 20.7 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

« on: December 12, 2020, 01:48:59 am »

I have torn out what little hair I have left over the course of the past few hours. I simply cannot get this to work.

First it was a problem with the certificate CN not matching, but got that to work by using the IP instead of the FQDN. Then EAP was failing because the instructions didn't mention you needed to add an extra package (apt install libcharon-extra-plugins).

Now EAP fails because authentication fails "EAP-MS-CHAPv2 failed with error ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE: '(null)'", even though the username entered matches the PSK entry (user, password, EAP) and I've even tried a PSK value against a full blown user account in opnSense as opposed to just an EAP entry on the "Pre shared Keys" page.

If anyone has a start to finish step by step guide for this (and yes, I have read the official guide (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-road.html) and then the linux bit here: (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-rw-linux.html), but all to no avail

Any help would be gratefully received.

20.1 Legacy Series / Re: WebUI not loading after SSL cert update

« on: December 11, 2020, 10:50:39 pm »

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've just had the same problem on 20.7. It appears that if there are any errors in the certs (in my case a stray character at the end of the Cert) it causes lighttp to fail to start and you're left with a gui-less system.

This is far from ideal if the firewall is in a data center and you've got no remote access to the console. The code needs to run some sort of validation check on the cert to make sure its valid before you assign it to the GUI or put in some fallback code to restore the SSL to the old one if it fails to start.

20.7 Legacy Series / Re: Odd Serial Console issue after upgrading from pfSense

« on: December 11, 2020, 09:49:25 pm »

pfft! This is always the way. You try and fix something for an hour, write a forum post about it, post the post and then immediately solve it.

For some unfathomable reason all I needed to do was unplug and then plug back in the USB cable on the server!

I plugged into it my PC and putty connected fine, tried screen, that worked fine, plugged it back into the server, re-ran the same command I'd run not 5 mins before and it now works.

Oh well, onto the fun of replicating the pfSense setup from the other pfSense box in the rack!

20.7 Legacy Series / Odd Serial Console issue after upgrading from pfSense

« on: December 11, 2020, 09:39:29 pm »

We've got an old (probably a few years old) Dual A10 Quad Core SSD OPNSense firewall unit which was running pfsense and it worked fine, but I thought I'd give opnSense a try as I'm interested in the ETPro Telemetry feature, which isn't on pfSense.

Anyway, I connected the serial lead for console access and installed opnSense 20.7 off the usb and everything was fine until it booted up in opnSense for the first time, ever since then the serial port is acting as if the settings are wrong. As far as I know the defaults are the same between pfSense and opnSense and I use the same screen command, just passing the 115200 baud rate.

However, opnsense simply doesn't want to play ball. Or if it does, it displays the login prompt, i type "roo" as in the start of 'root' and that's it, it locks up again. Most of the time I'm just looking at a blank screen. For the first bit of the boot process it works and then again it stops scrolling and refreshes the current line until finally ending up at the login prompt.

For comparison we never had an issue when running pfSense, so its defintely related to opnSense.

I can logon to via the browser, but the console was a useful backup option to have, if I can get it to work again.

Anyone got any ideas?
