issues wth openvpn client connectivity
-
@stephenw10 the other 3 are additional dhcp, openvpn client export and pfsense pkg ovpn.
just did right now, thank you. so it should be safe to update?
i am using a vpn server configured with openvpn not sure if i should have specified that but when its set on low it seems the vpn is not effective?
-
What VPN server are you using? Some commercial provider?
The ISP router does nothing in that setup except potentially block the client from connecting out to the server.
-
@stephenw10 yes, commercial provider.
i get regular speeds with the setting on low and low vpn speeds with the settings on high?
-
Oh so it still connects just passes traffic slowly?
Either way you don't need any security on the ISP router when all your client machine are behind pfSense.
-
@stephenw10 correct
interesting. maybe i misconfigured some setting
-
@stephenw10 would a firewall floating rule to block tagged traffic from using wan be all i need?
-
To do what exactly? What are you are trying to achieve?
-
@stephenw10 all traffic go through vpn servers. security being top priority
-
OK well that's all in pfSense, it has nothing to do with whatever the ISP router is doing.
Yes, you could use a floating outbound rule to prevent unencrypted traffic leaving the firewall via the WAN. Commonly that is done by removing the NAT rule on WAN so only traffic via the VPN is NAT'd.

@stephenw10 thank you very much. i will look into all this
