OpenVPN with external VPN provider

[petrij98]

Hey all! In my quest to migrate completely from PFSense to OPNSense, I've run into another snag that I might need help troubleshooting. When I used PFSense, I used to run all of my traffic through Surfshark VPN just to help protect my data from my ISP (with it being AT&T and all the security concerns being raised recently, it feels like it's best practice to do so). However, getting this set up has proven to be more of a hassle than it was on PFSense. I configured my VPN connections to the remote servers correctly (OpenVPN statuses and gateways prove so), Unbound has been configured appropriately, NAT has the correct rules generated/created, and my Firewall allows anything from my desired subnet out through the VPN gateway that I set. However, none of the hosts within my subnet can connect to the internet when all is said and done. I hope this is a quick fix that I'm overlooking, but I haven't been able to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just a random guess, did you check firewall rules for OpenVPN (Firewall / Rules / OpenVPN)?
I am using OpenVPN only for site2site and external users, but I do have manual allow in and out rules for all traffic.

I have a temporary allow-all in and out rule on OpenVPN and the individual VPN interfaces, just to test. No result. I never had to do this on PFSense, so I assume I won't have to here. They're just there to watch the logs.

edit: I tweaked around a couple of logs and now, I can see all of the traffic through my target interface and the VPN interface. So, there is some activity even if not properly translating. I'm trying to test connectivity with a ping test, but it is not resolving until I remove the VPN gateway from the rules.
