    I have no DNS set up on the VPN server.
    I searched the internet for a long time and found this series of commands that solved the problem,I hope it works for you too.

    @jknott yes, I can ping, but nothing else.

    Well, fire up Wireshark (or Packet Capture if you must) to see what's happening. Once we know what's happening to the packets, we're in a better position to advise.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Any Internet-facing port that's opened is going to be continually "under attack." But that's largely why things like OpenVPN exist. If you're getting these connection attempts non-stop, then yes I might worry that you are being specifically targeted. But odds are it's just the constant, random scanning for open ports with unsecured services behind them. I run an OpenVPN server on pfSense too and get connection attempts like these relatively frequently too.

    @derelict said in Routing OpenVPN not working:

    Not sure what you want when you're using an ancient version like 2.1.5. Not a lot of people want to spend time chasing long-fixed bugs and problems. You should consider upgrading and seeing if the issue is fixed.

    I wrote earlyer, upgrade is in my plans, but NOW I can't do it so fast, so I need solve this question.
    I understand your answer, thanks

    No. But you can set your OpenVPN server to authenticate against the LDAP or RADIUS server of your choice.

    @derelict Had nothing to do with SoftEtherVPN and moreso to do with the underlying SSL package they were using. That said, I do now see how old this is. That part of your comment was at least somewhat helpful.

    first, it's port 5060 not 560.

    Second, I could not get that server to respond. It came right up using this:

    Does that mean the CERDISP Host needs to be connected to the VPN?

    the device is a dumb pad that we use CERDISP to display data to a HMI this is now a remote laptop off site.

    I added the client override logged into the vpn and tried to display the data onto the host of 192.168.100.106. 192.168.100.0/24 is added to the remote network.

    Does the pad just send the traffic to the firewall and it sees it's a 192.168.100.0 subnet and forwards the traffic to the VPN Server?

    No your not close ;) So your forgetting the opt2 idea.. You don't have a network setup on it even.

    Why are you using manual outbound nat and not hybrid?

    Your rule to send out your vpn gateway - the source needs to be the IP on your lan that you want to use the gateway.. not your vpn net..

    As to pulling routes - you have it check in your vpn client NOT to pull routes... Your sayng your current lan is not using your vpn..

    Thanks. Will definitely give that a try. When I look up my IP address while connecting through the VPN, it lists my home cable modem's IP address. How can I ensure that ALL (I mean everything) is going through the VPN?

    That's all great but this is not edgerouter support.

    It appears the pfSense side is fine but the edgerouter is not routing traffic for 192.168.101.0/24 back over the tunnel.

    That said, try adding an OpenVPN option on the edgerouter that results in this:

    "--route 192.168.101.0 255.255.255.0"

    edit -

    Probably not since the zebra route is in the table to the correct tunnel it must be getting that from somewhere else. Probably have to ask them.

    Yep, that's been going around for the last week or so. We have disabled compression by default for new OpenVPN instances on 2.4.4. The good news is that it depends not only on compression being enabled, but also on the attacker being able to get the user to load plaintext they can predict (e.g. HTTP sites), and even then it can only get access to a little bit of data there like session info, and even then only on certain browsers (it doesn't work against Chrome). So it's a clever attack using classic TLS issues with compression, but the sky isn't exactly falling for most people.
