Remote Access Connectivity Issues
-
Hello,
I have remote access set up to my pfsense using Viscosity. The connection to OpenVPN works however, I am having issues with connecting to devices on the LAN from the remote client.
I can ping and connect over 443 to the pfsense LAN gateway from the remote client. I do not get any responses from other clients in the LAN.
Packet captures on the LAN show the ICMP ping requests coming from the tunnel network (10.10.13.2) to the destination devices but no response from them. All the devices respond to ICMP ping request when ping'ed locally. I don't understand why they would not respond to the PING from the tunnel IP network.
I feel this could be a gateway issue but I am not sure.

Is pfSense the default gateway in the remote LAN?Possibly the LAN devices are blocking access from outside the LAN by their own firewall. Consider that is the default behavior of network devices.

I figured it out. It was not a firewall on the devices nor was it the pfsense. It was user error. The device behind the pfsense had manual IP's and no gateway setup. Once I changed them to DHCP things started working.
