20.1 Legacy Series / Strange behaviour from Opnsense 20.1 configure with NordVPN
« on: February 27, 2020, 06:15:55 am »
Hi All
I'm not new to Opnsense but have decided to come back as I want to configure my NordVPN connection with Opnsense so that all traffic goes through the VPN. I have followed the NordVPN guide for setting up the VPN on Opnsense 19.1 and even though the connection is up, and traffic is going through the VPN, something odd seems to be happening.
My network consists of a Draytek Vigor 130 modem in bridge mode, which is connected to my Opnsense which handles all my routing and VPN configuration, which is then connected to an Asus RT-AC88U in AP mode where all my wired and wireless devices connect to the internet.
Now here is the odd behaviour, wired devices work perfectly, traffic goes through VPN and web pages load as they should, however wireless devices do not seem to want to connect to the internet at all, they either time out, say the server has stopped responded or server cannot be found. I've searched everywhere for a solution, ask friends that have networking knowledge, even went to NordVPN themselves and the doesn't seem to be any logical explanation, or a fix for this behaviour.
I'm really hoping some of you out there might have some ideas as to what the problem might be and suggest ways to fix this, I would be ever so grateful for any advice.
