Solution found!

I had client-based scripts activated for those that connect to the server, check the following dirctive in the server config:

Code Select Expand


client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/ccd


Problem was, that the file for that sepcific client that made this mistake, had this information:

Code Select Expand


ifconfig-push 10.8.0.10 10.8.0.1


This is wrong, as ifconfig-push expects the netmask as second parameter, not the server-IP.

So the problem was related to the open space in between chair and monitor and nowhere else.

Thanks to everyone who has had some thoughts on this weird problem.

All the best,
Dennis

Hi!

I am using OpenVPN in OPNsense in such a way, that I have an external VPN-Server, that OPNsense connects to. OPNsense acts as a router inside a LAN and provides this LAN to other OpenVPN clients.

What I see on OPNsense is the following routing table while being connected to the OpenVPN Server:

root@OPNsense:~ # netstat -rn
Routing tables

Problematic is route

Code Select Expand


10.8.0.0&0xa080001 10.8.0.1           UGS      ovpnc1


This results in certain adresses being misrouted. Take for example IP-addresses from 142.x.x.x to 143.x.x.x, which in result will be misrouted to the VPN, although they should take the default route.

I do not know, why this route is created. On a Windows client, I do not see this route, only on the OPNsense machine.

This is the OpenVPN client config on the OPNsense machine:

Code Select Expand

And this is the OpenVPN server config:

How can I get rid of this route?

Best regards and thanks in advance,
