20.7 Legacy Series / Allowing OpenVPN access to the private WAN

« on: December 15, 2020, 04:27:02 pm »

I have a opnsense firewall behind a router so is natted. I have the port forwarding from the first router to the WAN interface that has a private ip assigned via DHCP (10.50.65.10) from the first router and I'm forwarding port 11094 to the WAN with the DHCP reservation. I can VPN into the OpenVPN service in opnsense firewall from the internet but I can't if I'm in the network that is in the WAN interface. I have unchecked the block private networks on the WAN interface but I cannot connect to it when I change the IP in viscosity to be the 10.50.65.10. Do I need to create a firewall rule for it ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is a diagram of what I'm trying to do.

Virtual private networks / Static Route for OpenVPN Cloud

« on: December 14, 2020, 03:59:27 pm »

I have setup my opnsense firewall to connect as a network on OpenVPN Cloud service.

I can access the LAN & LAN2 interfaces on my opnsense, 10.10.10.1 & 192.168.0.1 respectively.

So far so good, but I cannot reach any hosts on either LAN.

I have read the document for setting the route on OpenVPN Cloud documentation and I cannot get the static route configured correctly to be able to connect to any host behind any of the LANs.

Here is the document

https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/connecting-networks-to-openvpn-cloud-using-connectors-2/

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

20.7 Legacy Series / WAN Interface only connects on 100baseT not Gigabit

« on: August 28, 2020, 03:04:56 am »

I just got a new Arris T25 Cable modem that I registered fine with Xfinity, but the WAN interface only connects on 100baseT not gigabit. I take the cable from the cable modem and plug it to another interface it connects fine to gigabit speeds. I have checked the interface speed and duplex settings and they are set to default on the WAN interface and also the others. Do I have a bad port ?

Any ideas ?

Any help will greatly appreciated.

20.7 Legacy Series / Routing OpenVPN remote clients thru ExpressVPN

« on: August 20, 2020, 05:53:09 pm »

I have an instance of OPNsense hosted in vultr. I have the ExpressVPN OpenVPN client configured correctly and it connects fine. But I haven't been able to route the OpenVPN clients traffic thru the ExpressVPN interface.
I have played with the outbound rules in manual mode but as soon as one of the openvpn clients connect they lose internet access.

Any help with be greatly appreciated.

Never mind guys and gals, I figured out.

See attachments to see what worked for me, in case somebody has the same problem.
