    Yeah, you can leave off the "–" part of the command, which is for use when you call it from a command line.

    local 1.2.3.4

    Just putting that in the custom options should do it (remember to use a semicolon to separate multiple options if you have more). After you save it look in System Logs -> OpenVPN to make sure it's binding to the correct IP.

    @joebarnhart:

    I have two pfSense boxes and I want to route the openvpn traffic through the OPT1 interface at work to my system at home.  The work box is the "server" my home is the "client".  My home box is set to use the gateway connected to OPT1 at work, but there is no way to tell the server at work to send packets back through the OPT1 interface (instead of WAN).

    Create a static route for the IP of the remote end and as gateway your OPT1 gateway.

    @joebarnhart:

    The static route suggestion leaves me confused.  I can set a default gateway, but it wants a "source" for the packets.  LAN, WAN, etc. don't seem to create a static route that OpenVPN respects or uses.  Nothing seems to affect it since it sits inside the pfSense box and does not seem to pay attention to any routing rules other than from it's openvpn page itself.
    '

    You're obviously in the wrong place.
    You dont have to create a firewall-rule and set a gateway.
    You have to create a static route in place i wrote above.

    @joebarnhart:

    Looking at my logs, I can see the client is connecting to the OPT1 interface at work, but the server at work is responding over its WAN interface.  I could just set "float" in my client, but it misses the point of having a T1 line for VPN use.

    I've googled many many messages about this multi-homed madness and openvpn, but have found few who actually claimed to get it working.  99% of the messages never attract even a single response.  This is a big problem for anyone with multiple WANs and there isn't much to go on getting pfSense and openvpn to work.

    I think you need to clarify something.
    Do you want the pfSense to connect to a server?
    In this case you need the static route above.

    Do you want clients to connect to the pfSense on the OPT?
    In this case you dont need a static route, but you need to set the correct commands in the "Custom options" field on the OpenVPN server page.
    AFAIK something along the line of "–local host IP_of_OPTx".
    Just to tell the OpenVPN instance that it should listen on the IP of the OPTx instead of the main WAN.

    PS: Why do you think that "This is a big problem for anyone with multiple WANs and there isn't much to go on getting pfSense and openvpn to work." ?
    It's not a problem of pfSense if you dont know how to handle OpenVPN....

    Yes this is possible with the "Client-specific configuration" (client specific pushes)
    and with OpenVPN firewall rules. (Although the firewalling of OpenVPN is currently quite a hack).

    But you missunderstand that you get an IP out of your 3 subnets. This wont happen. You connect from a different subnet to these private LANs.

    Yes you can integrate this with active directory.

    I got it!

    My god.. all this hair pulling. The problem was that the tap0 interface on machine B did not have an IP address assigned to it. That was it. It works, wonderfully. I am way behind schedule on what I need this for, but with any kind of luck I'll have some time in a few weeks to write up a start to finish guide.

    Until then, I'll try to check the thread as often as I can to answer any questions.

    What is your IP and gateway for you external network, that is what it should be.  This is a example of the client configuration:

    ovpn_client.txt

    dev tun
    proto udp
    remote 63.162.xxx.xxx 1194
    ping 10
    resolv-retry infinite
    nobind
    persist-key
    persist-tun
    ca ca.crt
    cert ovpn_client1.crt
    key ovpn_client1.key
    ns-cert-type server
    comp-lzo
    pull
    verb 3

    This from my workstation that I use to connect openvpn with.

    It seems like it works somehow, strange but works.  ???

                                                          client                                                          server

    I know that this seems to work on vmware, but I don't think that this would a standard network configuration.  I can see several potential issues, DNS, DHCP.  In most wide area networks you would have a core site with a 21 network or larger.  For your remotes they would some 24 networks or smaller.  It all depends on the size of your company.

    So in that case you would extend your network either with secure VPN's, or metnet's, openvpn's.  When I mean extend your business network to 10 sites I would do the following and let's assume that the connections are ipsec or openvpn. We are also using windows 2003/2008 for servers.

    Our core network has 200 users and each site has 32 users.  We will have a 510 addresses (23 bit mask) at the core(10.10.10.0- 10.10.11.254),  each site will have 64 addresses.
    Core:10.10.10.0

    Site 1: 10.10.20.1 - 10.10.20.64      GW:10.10.20.1
    Site 2: 10.10.20.65 - 10.10.20.128  GW:10.10.20.66
    Site 3: 10.10.20.129 - 10.10.20.193  GW:10.10.20.130
    Site 4: 10.10.20.194 - 10.10.20.254  GW:10.10.20.195
    Site 5: 10.10.21.1 - 10.10.21.64      GW:10.10.21.1
    Site 6: 10.10.21.65 - 10.10.21.128    GW:10.10.21.66
    Site 7: 10.10.21.129 - 10.10.21.193  GW:10.10.21.130
    Site 8: 10.10.21.194 - 10.10.21.254  GW:10.10.21.195
    Site 9: 10.10.22.1 - 10.10.22.64      GW:10.10.22.1
    Site 10: 10.10.22.65 - 10.10.22.128  GW:10.10.22.65

    So at the core site we would be building a main router so we would reserve the first 32 addresses for addresses for routers and vpn devices.  Then we would build out from there through our firewalls and start building out our tunnels (what every secure method that you would use, your choice).  So at the core we would then be looking at something like the following:

    Core: 10.10.10.10 core router managment
    Core: 10.10.10.1 Default gateway
    Firewall Lan interface: 10.10.10.11
    Firewall VPN interface 1:10.10.10.12 (5 vpn tunnels per interface)
    Firewall VPN interface 2:10.10.10.13 (5 vpn tunnels per interface)
    DHCP Server: 10.10.10.14 contains scopes for core site with all vpn sites
    Baracuda: 10.10.10.15  (mail filtering)

    We would build our VPN's with rules in place to allow DCHP, DNS services to extend over the vpn tunnels.  Our internet and other services would be provided from the core site.  Remote sites would have a file server and data would be replicated over the vpn tunnels for backup.  The local server would also run DNS services for local names resolution.  Other services could be provided via terminal services or citrix to conserve bandwidth.

    I hope this helps.  I know it might draw more questions.

    I'm having the same problem I can make a remote desktop connection from my mobile client to one of my servers and request the webpage of one of the printers in the Office.
    I can't directly access that webpage from the mobile client.

    As far as I can see, all the gateways are correct.


    Firewall rules:
    IPSec: Allow all on all for all
    WAN: Allow TCP/UDP on port 1194 for all
    LAN: Allow All from LAN Net to all

    Maby I'm missing something?

    //Edit:
    When I traceroute a host in the office network from the mobile client, I get a response from the PFSense server and than from the default gateway of PFSense. So PFSense is routing the traffic the wrong way…

    Doing the same traceroute from one of my servers, i get the PFSense host, than the router at the office and than the host I'm looking for.

    Looks like this is addressed now in the latest version of OpenVPN.  Does anyone know when we might see this change in pfSense?  Or what steps are required to manually upgrade OpenVPN meanwhile?

    Here's an excerpt from a recent OpenVPN changelog:

    2009.05.30 – Version 2.1_rc17

    Increased TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE to 2048 from 1024 (this will allow for
    more option content to be pushed from server to client).

    Have you added a route to the VPN on your local LAN's router? You will need that to enable packet routing between your local and remote computers. Simple home routers enable configuration of a few static routes (some are even capable of running RIP). You will need to add a static route to your VPN subnet in your router's configuration. If, for instance, the address of the VPN's virtual interface on your server is 10.8.0.1, your VPN's subnet will most likely be 10.8.0.0/24. I'll use these addresses in my example below. In my Linksys home router to add a route I go to Setup tab, then choose Advanced Routing (it can vary depending on router's manufacturer), and there I type in the following:

    Enter Route Name: VPN (or any other name you want)
    Destination lan IP: 10.8.0.0
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway: 192.168.1.254 (<=== this is the VPN server's IP on the LAN)

    Obviously adjust IP addressing to your particular setup. That should do the trick.

    Good luck

    Hi ! And sorry for my english

    I have just set up a vpn with 3 sites
    To done that i add satic routes.
    The gateway to use with route is the ip assign in the adress pool you have configure your tunnel.

    For exemple :

    network :

    site1 : 192.168.1.0/24
    site2 : 192.168.2.0/24
    site3 : 192.168.3.0/24

    Adress pool :

    site1 -> site2 : 10.0.1.0/30
    site1 -> site3 : 10.0.2.0/30

    When the tunnel is up, and if you do an ifconfig on site1 you will see a interface name (tun or tap).
    And in my exemple site1 will have ip 10.0.1.1/30 and at the over side of the tunnel site2 have the ip 10.0.1.2/30

    In the second  pool you will have :
    site1 10.0.2.1/30 and site3 10.0.2.2/30

    So the route to add are :

    On site2 (to join site3 by site1)

    192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.1

    On site3

    192.168.2.0 255.255.255..0 10.0.2.1

    Note you have to push this two routes on both side in one time, the sites have to know how to respond to the over site.

    Hops it helps you.

    (And sorry again for my english)

    Just replying with what fixed it. It was as simple as adding "local 2ndexternalipaddress" as a custom option.
