thank you very much

DEar Friend, I m having the same issue.. CAn you help me how u sort of the issue?

Anyone had experience with setting up LDAP with OpenVPN?  :-\

Ah, good to here. I suspect that the OpenVPN connection is stealing the default gateway when it is brought up. There is an option to allow the default gateway to change but I can't remember where it is off hand.  ::) I think it's disabled by default anyway. More likely is that the VPN adds a default route when it comes up. I think that is a changeable setting also. VPNs are not strong point of mine to be honest.  :) Steve

I am very intrested in this!! Please provide instructions! Best regards Kostas

Hi, Wondered if you can help. Do you know of any instructions I can use as a template to try and work out how to get my VPN service working? Thanks

Jimp, Thanks so much.  This did fix this issue.

i would advice updating to 2.0.3 which is the latest stable. Since 1.2.3 there have been numerous improvements, also making it much easier to setup openvpn.

@dhel: I'd suggest a few things to try- Add "tun-mtu 1500;" and "mssfix 1400;" to the OpenVPN "Advanced Configuration" Move off port 1194… it might be shaped on the provider's end. Wow, this did cause a dramatic difference once applied to both ends. I max out his upload receiving on my end perfectly fine testing with both SMB and HTTP, and he can now get around 1 to 1.1MB/sec from me, which is great in comparison to before. I technically can push out 5MB/sec with the fluff on the upload from FiOS and he should be able to receive that since he has 45Mbps down, but I guess it's better than nothing!

Re: OpenVPN - Ping LAN resources which has a different default gateway That did the trick ….Thank you .

Any help  on this please???

Hm… I can however add a few rules to the NAT. OpenVPN TCP/UDP * * 192.168.186.0/24 22 (SSH) 192.168.1.10 22 And this works... so I'll go this way ... If someone has any other solution ... please post it anyway thanks, p.

Hi, 1:1 NAT is only the incoming side… you also need outbound NAT. => Manual Outbound NAT generation ==> normally you can delete safely the autogenerated rules if you don't use IPSec but perhaps you want some of them modified. => add a new rule which is bound to your outgoing OpenVPN Interface the reverse NAT mapping rule... finished ;) (you don't have forgotten to open incoming firewall rules to needed services ?)

your log is not very helpful… Because of kernel: ifa_add_loopback_route:insertion failed I guess you also run into this problem/bug: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,60231.0.html where this fix could help - if he is made correctly… actually he has problems on server side (but you can test it on client side) http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,60231.msg330670.html#msg330670

I'm going bonkers.  When I go to edit vars.bat, I get the message that "edit" is not recognised as a command.  WHAT???  I'm using Vista.

IIRC it's for the native windows OpenVPN GUI's 64-bit version and underlying binaries, not for the drivers.

Thank You. That worked.

I bought the book OpenVPN 2 Cookbook and was able to figure it out.
