16.1 Legacy Series / VPN Frustration
« on: April 03, 2016, 08:41:49 am »
Hi everyone! I'm a long-time user of m0n0wall and have recently deployed my first instance of OPNsense for a client on an APU board. Works great, and I love the updates made to the interface and package system.
I recently went about setting up VPN access for the client to this instance, along with the 3 other m0n0wall installs he has at different locations. Ignoring the big warning about PPTP (legacy clients to deal with), setting up a PPTP server on m0n0wall was dead simple, and I was able to connect to nodes on the internal network easily.
However, the same could not be said about OPNsense. I've spent the better part of a day testing many different configuration options only to find out it simply won't route through. When I'm on the VPN, I can successfully connect to and browse the GUI, but nothing reaches nodes behind it.
I would love to figure out what I'm missing, and if anyone got tips for it, I'd appreciate them too.
Special mentions:
- firewall has a class C IP for the WAN (sits behind a crappy DSL modem; for now)
