17.1 Legacy Series / !help! OPNSense configuration with OpenVPN and DD-WRT Netgear X6
« on: April 22, 2017, 01:58:23 am »
Hello!
I'm new to the forums, and new to hardware firewalls and routing in general, and I need some serious help figuring out how to configure my equipment.
My desired network setup is this:
Cable Modem -> OPNSense (all traffic via OpenVPN to a private provider) -> Netgear X6 -> Clients (wireless & wired)
I've attempted to follow these tutorials to get this to work:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4979.0
https://wretmo.se/2016/01/24/how-to-setup-openvpn-client-on-opnsense/
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Use_an_existing_wireless_router_with_pfSense
The issues I'm currently having, after following the tutorials, is that even though I see the VPN status is connected, none of my traffic is going over the VPN. Worse yet, no clients behind the router have an internet connection at all. When plugged directly into the OPNSense router, I have internet, but no traffic goes over VPN, verified via IPlocation.net.
I'm currently running DDW-RT on my Netgear X6.
Can anyone walk me through the configuration for OPNSense and DDW-RT to get this to work? I've been trying to figure this out for about 6 hours at this point
Also,
The machine I got this morning from my friendly local parts graveyard, with a gigabit server NIC, and installed OPNSense. Everything was verified working by the recycling center before purchase.
Specs: I5-2400 3.1Ghz quad core 4gb ram, dual port gigabit Intel server nic PCIE 4x
