Virtual private networks / Renew OpneVPN Server Cert

« on: May 18, 2024, 04:38:39 pm »

Hello,

I had some trouble with an expired OpnenVPN Server certificate. Maybe my experiences can help others and someone can give me some Advice how to do better next time.
I created a new Servercertificate and set it in the OpenVPN Server (The CA is still valid). But I was'nt able to connect. I think my mistake was a different CN in the new Certificate, because the CN is compared in the default settings. But I also noticed that the Common Static Key in the Server changed too. Is this a normal behaviour?
After setting the old key again, all clients were able to connect properly.

Virtual private networks / openVPN Server for Roadworriers and for Site2Site as well

« on: November 20, 2023, 09:28:01 pm »

Hi there,

coming from IPFire, I have to implement the openVPN tunnels from there to the opnsense box. How can I use the opnsense openVPN implementation to connect Site2Site as well as Road Warrior? In the IPFire Box it was quite easy and the VPNs go through the same tunnel (10.0.10.0/24). Is it possible to do so with the opnsense, or do I have to implement a second server with a second tunnel subnet?
thanks for answers
