Hi,

I have trouble routing traffic over VPN tunnel for Windows client in Road Warrior setup. I've followed these steps enough times, no joy:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-rw-srv-mschapv2.html
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-rw-w7.html
My internal network is 10.5.1.0/24, and client network is 192.168.222.0/24. In Phase 2 I tried using both, actual LAN network and "Network" with manually provided network address.
"Use this gateway" is disabled on the client, I only need traffic for my office network to be routed through VPN.

Result:
- Client connects to opnsense - which is good
- Client always gets IP address 192.168.222.1 assigned to it, and routes traffic for 192.168.222.0/24 through it - good
- Static IP assignment on client side has no effect on it, it still gets the same 192.168.222.1 - strange but ok
- Any other traffic is routed via local NIC, including one for my internal network 10.5.1.0/24 - so the client is not reaching out office via VPN

Questions:
1. Client -> Office connectivity: how do I make Win11 client to route traffic for my internal network 10.5.1.0/24 via VPN adapter? Manually adding route does not look right because the next time the client can obtain different address from 192.168.222.0/24 range. Sending all traffic through VPN adapter is not an option.
2. Office -> Client connectivity: How do I make my VPN clients accessible for computers in my internal LAN 10.5.1.0/24?

Never mind. Apparently after adding a NIC one has to reset VnStat DB, there's a button in General tab.

I observe some strange sessions on my OpnSense box (Firewall -> Diagnostics -> Sessions). I use 1.1.1.1 as DNS provider.
10.5.1.250:2 -> 1.1.1.1:2 - not sure why it is connecting to port 2 at all.
1.1.1.1:2 -> 10.5.1.250:2 somehow matched the "allow DHCP client on WAN" while the rule is about ports 67 and 68, not port 2.
Both sessions remain constantly open, "Expires" value is always 9 or 10 seconds.

Is there some logical explanation to this? Or is there a bug in sessions view?

Hi,

I've just got a dual NIC from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D3JL14S?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image
It works great with OpnSense as one of the reviews suggested although VnStat fails to display any stats for it while for the other 2 cards it continues to work as expected. See attached screenshots of both cases.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
