Virtual private networks / Re: OpenVPN cannot access LAN

Hi Bart, I will try do this later today when I am away from home. I did run a traceroute on my iPad and found that it was trying to send to an IPv6 address, despite me setting OpenVPN client to use IPv4, and the same on the firewall.

Virtual private networks / OpenVPN cannot access LAN

« on: May 26, 2022, 06:12:57 pm »

I see a lot of similar posts with this topic but nothing that is obviously useful. I followed the road warrior setup for iOS, and like others, the VPN connects, but I can't access my LAN over the VPN. My attempts to do so are being blocked by the 'floating rule'  'Default deny/state violation rule'.

Under the firewall rules for OpenVPN I have a 'pass' rule set up to allow 'in' (I tried 'out' too just in case), with interface OpenVPN, source OpenVPN Net, destination LAN Net, which I would have thought would match but doesn't.

I'm using 10.0.0/24 for OpenVPN and my LAN is 192.168.1.0/24, not that I think those details matter. I do have one non-VPN rule on the WAN to allow HTTPS traffic through to an internal host, but I don't think that should affect things.

Happy to provide any other info to try diagnose what's going on here.
