OpenVPN clients with shared key configuration adding gateway as 255.255.255.0
-
Hello Pfsense Community.
I need your expertise, I have strange behavior lately on my Pfsense 2.7 OpenVPN nodes. Routing table shows 255.255.255.0 as gateway to my specific Pfsense OpenVPN server connections, those servers are configured with OpenVPN shared key option as you see below picture, other clients showing exactly OpenVPN servers ip address as it should.
Here is my setup:
Server: PfSense 2.7 (shared key)
Client: Pfsense 2.7 (shared key)I had to use shared key now due to IDS on client side ISP, they somehow started blocking TLS streams, only way for workaround is to use shared key and it is working.
My question here is why actual ip address is not assigned as gateway. Do I missing anything ? I have not changed any configs since upgrade, wondering new
version on Pfsense 2.7 changed. -
@Bohodir small lyrical digression. But you can use openvpn inside SSL/TLS, but you will lose performance and be forced to use TCP.Then your ISP will not block the VPN. You can also check if your ISP will block an unobfuscated TCP connection with an SSL/TLS key configuration

@hr1sha thank you for your responses, yea I have tried TCP and working just fine but performance worsens. ISP does not blocking un-obfuscated TCP connection with an SSL/TLS key configuration for some reason.
