Unable to Route Traffic over OPENVPN Gateway NORDVPN Client Setup
-
@viragomann
I have changed dns servers to public DNS 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 under DHCP Server DNS settings and also tried under windows network cconnections TCP/IP V4. With both also I couldn't get dns resolved. Still no internet after changing my default WAN gateway to OPENVPN gateway. -
@antionline
Can you post details about your configuration.
What is your LAN subnet?Post screenshots please from your
firewall rules
routes
outbound NATIs pfSense able to resolve host names at all?
-
LAN Subnet is 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255
LAN Firewall Rules:
Routing:
Outbound NAT
Pfsense ping www.google.com when vpn gateway selected for LAN.

Okay, with these settings and "Don't pull routes" checked, I expect that everything is working as without the VPN.However, missing the routing table.

Routing table when LAN gateway changed to VPN Gateway:
Routing tabel with resolve names selected:

It seems strange to me that your virtual VPN IP is shown up as gateway IP. Not clear, what causes this. I'd expect to see the server virtual IP as gateway, e.g. 10.8.1.1.Try to remove the check from "Don't add/remove routes" in the VPN client settings.
-
VPN Client updated settings:
Gateways:
OPENVPN Connections Status after Don't add/remove routes" unchecked
-
@antionline
Is your OpenVPN client running it tap mode by any chance? -
No it is in layer 3 tunnel mode:

that your virtual VPN IP is shown up as gateway IP.
That is normal for those Privacy-VPNs.

Never seen this till today. Maybe this changed with 2.7?Anyway it seems weird for diagnosing routing issues.

No, I guess it is just not your type of VPN.

@Bob-Dig
Agree, I do not use any VPN providers.
However, also didn't notice from any post here. -
@viragomann
The IP was the same with 2.6 version as well. before update. -
@Bob-Dig
Do you have a working solution for me? I can change my vpn provider no problem.
With NORDVPN I have never get successfully connected to internet.
I have also installed on seperated machines different locations both not works. -

No. Their guides do work so the problem must be somewhere else.

Once I tried gateway group by using dual OPENVPN client(Dual NORDVPN Server connection over single WAN) paired together instead of using dual WAN.
At that way the Public IP and DNS changed somehow for once. After reboot of the pfsense. it did not come back again.
On my third pfsense I can use NORDVPN with dual WAN gateway group. It is working. But on the other hand single WAN setup never works.
It's been more than 2 months. I have to solve this problem.
I tried everything. Still no solution.
I am desperate right now

After the latest patch
Fix OpenVPN selecting wrong interface address when VIPs are present (Redmine #14646)
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14646
I could be able to route out my traffic and the OPENVPN client works as it is requested.
