OpenVPN - two servers. First working as needed, second - not.

[mrpsycho]

Hello!

I have setup - opnsense 19.1 (but i updated today, was 18 series, problem the same.)

and 2 openvpn server instances:
* Roadwarriors - Remote Aceess + LDAP auth
* site-to-site - Peer to Peer SSL/TLS

First one working as expected - every client connects and gets to internal network.
Second - client connects, but it cannot access to local network.
Only gate is accessable.

On firewall i see only one OpenVPN tab. (on pfsense every vpn instance creates its own tab).
and i thought, broblem is firewall... but i have only one rule - pass all.
 
next, i tried to assign ovpns2 interface. And Firewall with this interfaces created. But, it doesn't help too.

what it could be? how to access local network from "Peer to Peer" connection?

Does the LAN subnet appear in the routing table of the client?

[mrpsycho]

yes, route sets correctly.

lan 192.168.0.0/22
peer-to-peer 192.168.201.0/24


and on client i see

Code: [Select]

      192.168.0.0    255.255.255.0    192.168.201.5    192.168.201.6     35
    192.168.201.1  255.255.255.255    192.168.201.5    192.168.201.6     35
    192.168.201.4  255.255.255.252         On-link     192.168.201.6    291
    192.168.201.6  255.255.255.255         On-link     192.168.201.6    291
    192.168.201.7  255.255.255.255         On-link     192.168.201.6    291

Do you have an allow-all rule under Firewall, Rules, OpenVPN for each tunnel?

I have to agree... I am seeing some weird OpenVPN issues since upgrading. Some clients not staying connected.

I have 3 OpenVPN servers and 1 OpenVPN client (this client is Private Internet Access) which is being used as its own VLAN on the firewall for any devices on that VLAN network.

I keep seeing the red connection down icons in the main Portal Dashboard.

None of these issues were present before upgrading on 18.7.10_3

It is like all the OpenVPN connections keep restarting for whatever reason.

I am seeing errors like this in the OpenVPN logs:

Jan 31 16:15:07   openvpn[86050]: Restart pause, 5 second(s)
Jan 31 16:15:07   openvpn[86050]: SIGUSR1[connection failed(soft),init_instance] received, process restarting
Jan 31 16:15:07   openvpn[86050]: TCP: connect to [AF_INET] "IP:PORT"  failed: Address already in use

Jan 31 16:15:01   openvpn[47396]: SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting
Jan 31 16:15:01   openvpn[47396]: Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting

woaahhhh)))


no, my problem a little bit different (

@bartjsmit, yep, i have very weak rules, which allows any traffic on interfaces/tunnels.

i also have openconnect tunnel, and it works fine. And 1st OpenVPN server works as it should.

if threre some kind diagnostic report - i can send it.

[bartjsmit]

OpenVPN has a log: VPN, OpenVPN, Log file. You can also run packet captures on the VPN tunnel. Interfaces, Diagnostics, Packet Capture. Wireshark is a good tool to dissect those.

Maybe worth running a diff between the two configs? System, Configuration, backups.

ok. i tried several solutions.
and noticed, that ovpns2 interface and any other - doens't work as it should.
