Virtual private networks / Re: Questions to Migrate OpenVPN Servers legacy to Instances New

« on: July 28, 2024, 07:46:57 pm »

I'm having a major issue using the new "Interfaces" system... It seems that there is a shiny one pager that is supposed to do everything but what is now lacking is the wonderful little Wizard that guided you through creating all the SSL certs and things.

I also cannot seem to get it to work... I then discovered a whole lot of firewall entries that were there under previous versions (assuming created by the wizard) that just don't appear to be there under a fresh install of the new OPNSense...

Serious downgrade.

At least I can use Wireguard because otherwise I'd be in a tough spot... I cannot get this to work in any stable way because documentation and ease of setup have just gone down the toilet.

22.1 Legacy Series / Monit Reboot Wireguard Service

« on: September 13, 2022, 02:12:39 pm »

I'm trying to set up a reboot of the Wireguard service using Monit

So far, I've managed to start Monit and create a Service Test Setting for pinging from the Wireguard local address.

Now I'm setting up the Service Settings tab and I'm a bit stuck.

Type: Remote Host
Address: <Remote site Wireguard interface IP>
Start:
Stop:
Tests <ping test set up previously>

So what entries do I put into the Start and Stop section?
Would it be something like "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/wireguard start" and "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/wireguard stop"?? I saw somewhere in the dashboard that it mentions "wireguard-go"? Do I need a different name?

21.7 Legacy Series / Re: pkg: pkg is not installed, therefore upgrade is impossible

I ran it anyway and the system updated.

Now busy with the upgrade to 22.1 without issue.

Thanks for the help.

I did some hunting, and typed "man opnsense-bootstrap" and found an option listed.

opnsense-bootstrap -i

This doesn't stop on insecure certificates. Would that work?

I connect to the console, load the shell, type "opnsense-bootstrap" and it asks to confirm, I say Y... And then it starts but then just throws out that line and stops.

I'm getting the following screen when I try process an upgrade.

***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***

So I'm not able to add certain modules (Like Wireguard) because I have the incorrect version. What can I do to fix it?

21.7 Legacy Series / 21.7.1 on Hyper-V Gen 2

« on: September 15, 2021, 02:19:24 pm »

Hi

I'm having an issue installing 21.7.1 on a Server 2019 Hyper-V Gen 2 VM with SecureBoot switched off from the DVD ISO.

It launches the installer, goes through most of the process but at the Final Configuration stage, I cannot interact with the VM. I have tried Ctrl + C but it doesn't do anything.

Advice?

Virtual private networks / Re: VPN "IPv4 Remote Network" not working

« on: September 01, 2021, 01:17:01 pm »

While hunting around online and trying a few things I found that if I enable "Topology" on the server config, add a Client Specific Override with the Common Name being set to to the user and add a line "ifconfig-push" into the Advanced with the IP and subnet... It then gives out the IP address.

I have two issues with this approach even though it works
1. I have no idea what it does or the implications of the setup
2. I see a notice that the Advanced option will be removed in the future

So what is the alternative or "correct" way to implement this?

Virtual private networks / VPN "IPv4 Remote Network" not working

« on: September 01, 2021, 12:15:40 pm »

I'm new to OpnSense and OpenVPN and having a small issue.

I have managed to get VPNs working for client machines.

What I cannot get is access to the client's local network when they are connected on VPN... I set "IPv4 Remote Network" but it doesn't seem to allow the servers access to the local network where the clients are connecting from.

Alternatively, how do I make sure a client gets the same tunnel IP whenever they connect?
