1 WAN interface, 3 LAN interfaces, OpenVPN allow communication to all networks

Ok, you are correct. It was the local firewall restricting the response. I turned off the local firewall and I can now ping. I did not try other services yet.
The real world scenario is access the LAN via ssh from the VPN Net, and to access the IMPI/iLO also.
Right now it's not working, can't access ssh or ping, it's Rocky 8/9 so a firewall could be the issue. Not sure about iLO, it should be accessible via https but that isn't working either.
-
You can work around it with an outbound NAT rule so traffic appears to be sourced from the pfSense interface address.
But a cleaner solution is to add rules on the targets to allow the access.
-
Thank you, so if I wanted to add an Outbound NAT rule to make it seem like the traffic is originating on the same subnet, how can I set this up?
If I come in via VPN on 192.168.50.0/24 and want to connect to 192.168.3.1/24 how is the rule configured?
This is my attempt on my test bench trying to get to an IPMI device on 192.168.3.101 (OPT2) from 192.168.1.5 (LAN). I can get to IPMI only if I configure the network port to be on the 192.168.3.1/24 (OPT2) interface
-
That rule will work if you put it on the OPT2 interface. It gets applied outbound on the interface so must be on OPT2.
-
Should the rule be greyed out like this? I still can't get it to go, I changed the interface to OPT2. My test client is on the LAN interface (192.168.1.5)
-
Oh sorry you need to set outbound NAT to hybrid or manual to apply user rules. I suggest hybrid so auto rules are still updated.

Thank you, it's no longer greyed out but still not working.
The idea is for (LAN) 192.168.1.5 to access (OPT2) 192.168.3.101 as if it were on the 192.168.3.0/24 subnet. Do I need to specify port ranges or anything? I hope not.
I can verify access by switching from (LAN)192.168.1.5 to (OPT2) 192.168.3.5 on the windows test client and accessing the web IPMI interface.
-
Check the state table again. You should see the translation on the OPT2 state.
-
I only see activity from 192.168.15 to the pfsense admin web admin. Nothing for 192.168.3

How exactly are you making that switch? Does that client have NICs in both subnets? If so it's probably not sending traffic through pfSense at all.
-
I just use it as a sanity check. I change the adapter IP from the 192.168.1 to the 192.168.3. and the IPMI port is on the same switch. So no, I doubt pfsense is involved. It only tells me that it's up and accessible.
-
Hmm, but sending from 1.5 to 3.5 should go through pfSense and seemingly isn't (no states). So either something else is routing between those subnets, layer 3 switch maybe, or the client itself can access both subnets directly. Or perhaps it's just not sending, no default route?
-
The IPMI has a default route, I set it to 192.168.3.1. The 192.168.1.5 interface has no gateway.
No layer 3 switch, IPMI cable to cheap netgear switch, and cable from same switch to windows client. I can't have the windows test client 192.168.1.5 have a gateway because it's dual homed with a WAN interface and the WAN needs it.
-
On the real server setup, I am able to see the states when going to the 192.168.3.0/24 from the VPN net 192.168.50.0/24. I'm not sure what to make of it.
Although it doesn't seem to matter if the target http address is real or not, but I guess that doesn't matter, looks like it's making an attempt?
-
The states are correct but there is no translation. Did you add an appropriate OBN rule there too?
-
I see those states no matter if the OBN is there or not.
-
What OBN rule are you setting there?
-
-
Is that destination the address or subnet? It needs to be the OPT2 subnet there to match.
-
It's the subnet. Does I need this Outbound rule when setting the OPT2 (192.168.3.0/24) as local networks in the OpenVPN config?
