I will give this a try again. I followed the guide at the top of the forums for setting up site to site but was unable to get some pings going across. Everything was connected but i don't understand it completely. Thanks!

Thanks for such a prompt answer GruensFroeschli, I was aware that Relakks requires PPTP but I thought I could forward all the traffic that goes in my pfSense box directly to Relakks' PPTP server. Thank you for clearing that up

Yes, I understand the static route problem. It is kind of acceptable for now. Yes, I use PSK. Thanks for the hint about PKI. I hope to have time to look into it some time next week. /Roger

so now here is what is weird… when a client connects to the wireless access point.... and then connects to the VPN server... the same thing happens, it locks up when I put some heavy work on the VPN.... what is going on with openvpn???

I'd generally advise that you set up authentication servers at each site.  That way you only have to cope with the authentication syncs (password changes, new users), which can be handled even over a dialup.  More importantly, it means people can continue working when they can't connect to the main site (such as when your power goes out, or somebody puts a digging machine through your Internet connection). That's very good point. I will consider this kind of setup when I actually setup the site to site vpn. Thank you very much

after reseting the firewall config and reseting the modem, now site-to-site vpn is work smoothly. thanks…

Doing a traceroute from de XP client i see it goes through the PFsense's end of the VPN connection. XP has not firewall, nor the local linux host. XP LAN: 10.129.4.X TUN: 10.1.8.6 ping LINUXBOX: works ssh LINUXBOX: doesn't work http LINUXBOX: doesn't work PFSENSE LAN: 10.1.1.X TUN: 10.1.8.1 LINUXBOX LAN: 10.1.1.X ping XP: works rdp XP: works

it will work fine, i run mine like this as well. 192.168.125.0/25 LAN 192.168.125.128/27 VPN as far as how to access the other non-LAN subnets, youll just need to tinker with it… but it doesnt sound unresonable.

did u put ur Local Network in Local network place openvpn server configuration ?

ahhh finaly!! thanks GruensFroeschli and mihai, i love you <3

just fixed… thank you !

do your remote client know a the route to your local subnet?

It is a PKI what i get from the IPCOP, but the pki does have a password When i use it on windows with the client from openvpn.se it is asking me for a password. (Client to Net) and on the setup on the IPCop i had to enter a Password even in PKI pfsense is setup as client and it took my CA, Client certificate and Client Key just fine. Pfsense is always coming up with this Aug 2 20:39:04 openvpn[43938]: Exiting Aug 2 20:39:04 openvpn[43938]: Error: private key password verification failed Aug 2 20:39:04 openvpn[43938]: Cannot load private key file /var/etc/openvpn_client0.key: error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password read: error:140B0009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:PEM lib Aug 2 20:39:04 openvpn[43938]: WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.

I've had a friend help figure this one out.  What we had to do was use iroute in conjunction with the route command.  We now have a working PKI VPN infrastructure where all remote locations and the local office are fully connected.  (Can ping from anywhere to anything). If you're having issues, try looking at using the ccd directory and the iroute/route directives.

is this pertaining to the challenge password i setup in my keys? I can still connect to my VPN and i don't need to enter any password. Is this secure without having a challenge password? I'm a little concerned about the man in the middle type attack

ive been working on getting a CRL generated, but each time i do, i get errors. (hesitant to post all my output, as it has lots of information pertaining to one of my clients). has anyone else sucessfully revoked a cert, and if so, how did you do it?

I've resolved my problem ! I add a static route in "mypfsense2" for network subnet of "client1"

on the openvpn wishlist… i didnt log in and try to post yet another, but maybe someone could edit their GUI wish, to be able to not only add certs, but to revoke them as well.  this would probably be a given if someone were to actually go to the trouble, but either way, i think its worth wishing for  :)

No need for rules, but need to specify remote subnets in the openvpn config on both pfsense-sides…
