Guess what??? I can't connect. OpenVPN Tap instance

thejtshow

Hey everyone,

I am back to beg this wonderful community for advice on my OpenVPN setup.

I have OpenVPN configured with a tap instance, and my openVPN client says it can connect to the server from both within and without.

HOWEVER

The tap adapter in my windows clients both within and without show an unidentified network with no incoming traffic, same issue within and without.

I have tried disabling windows firewall, but this has no effect. Also thinking about it, I am unsure if this would affect it since I am getting assigned a local IP address within my subnet.

pfsense shows that I have a connection:

vpnuser	10.24.1.58:64134	10.24.1.125	Thu Jun 23 02:08:44 2016	213 KiB	85 KiB

and this is the log from the VPN client:

current openvpn config info that I think would be relevent (feel free to ask for more):

OpenVPN Firewall rule: 0/0B, IPv4*, the rest are *
Wan Firewall rule: 0/0B, IPv4 TCP/UDP, *, *, WAN address, 1194, *, none

device mode: tap
interface: wan
port: 1194

tunnel networks: empty

bridge dhcp: checked
bridge interface: lan
dhcp start: 10.24.1.125
end: 10.24.1.140
redirect gateway: unchecked
ipv4 local networks: 10.24.1.0/24

dynamic ip: checked
address pool: checked

advanced options: all unchecked
custom options: empty

I have an interface enabled for ovpns1, not for tap1
I also have a bridge between LAN and ovpns1.

Not quite sure what I am missing.. I followed this guide as much as I could: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=46984.0

I am sure I have missed something stupidly easy, but as with most things I cannot see what is right under my nose. If you need/want any more info I am happy to provide it.
