OpenVPN server listening on specific interface in OPNsense.

[discoverato]

I would like to replicate a previous configuration I had in my handmade Debian router. I would like to access my domestic network through a VPN which I only access from a "cloud VPN". This is for various reasons, mostly because I do not want to have any open port on my domestic network.

I would like to configure my OPNsense in a way that a OpenVPN Server in OPNsense is listening on the interface of a OpenVPN client.

I have configured with no issue my OPNsense for being an OpenVPN client.  It connects to a 10.42.1.1 and gets a 10.42.1.2.

What I do not understand, is how to bind my OpenVPN Server to listen on interface 10.42.1.2. In the drop down menu I can only choose among WAN, LAN, WIFI, any, localhost.



What can I do? Apparently, trying to add a new interface did not do the trick.

Maybe I am missing something with firewall and routing interfaces?

Thanks,

Hi,

i think you have to add your VPN-Client first as an Interface (i think its named OVPNC1) after that you can choose it as interface when creating an OpenVPN Server.
