openvpn client not connecting
-
Ya I thought that "may" be some attack attempts. BUT:-
I am in UAE now and my home is in India where pfsense is located.
My home IP is 59.88.4.40
but openvpn client from my office pc is trying to connect to 117.196.173.241:1194.I am using dyndns at my pfsense end. As per my research this ip 117.196.173.241 doesnt belong to my dyndns.
This makes me kind of total confusions.
I tried both User auth as well as TLS modes.
Attached the latest openvpn log from pfsense. Plz chk if u can see anything interesting ?

If you know your that the IP you need to contact is is 59.88.4.xx then why would you (have it) use 117.196.a.b ?
DynDNS issues ? Who cares. Handle that one later.
For now, set up the IP like :
export the Client OpenVPN config.
Import the config in the client.@Cleetus-Antony said in openvpn client not connecting:

Starting testing the user auth possibilities when you are able to reach 59.88.4.xx

Sorry that I couldn't respond to u after the last talk.I managed connect the opnvpn from my work place to home pfsense server.
But I my open vpn adaptor is not getting gateway and dns.Please revert.
-
-
Yes sir, Thats what the adaptor is getting my tunnel network IP from 192.168.2.0 series when connected.
-
@Gertjan
I set the Device Mode in server configuration as "tun" only no "tap" . So I shudnt get TAP adaptor in my connected clients rt ?Is that matters for not getting GW and DNS in client ?
-
@Cleetus-Antony
When you set up a OpenVPN server using TUN, you have to create a corresponding (redo) your OpenVPN client side accordingly.
Actually, every time you change something on the server side, you have to redo your client config also.Normally, you export the openvon config on pfSense to an opvn file, and you import this file on your OpenVPN client.
-
@Gertjan
Thank u. But my server conf was "tun" only since starting not tap. Hav any clue why I am not getting GW and DNS ? -

Your client side ( ? ) as showing a tap connection.
-
@Gertjan
Yes sir, Thats what bit confusing. Please let me know if u need to see any particular configuration in server, I can show the screenshot. My "Device mode" conf is tun only. -
@Cleetus-Antony
Did you even provide a DNS server in the OpenVPN server settings?A Default Gateway is not meant to be set on the VPN interface, as far as I know. There is no need for it.
What's your actual issue now?
-
@viragomann
I assigned dns in server settings and client getting the same.
But issue is client is not getting internet.
I even added redirect-gateway def1 option also.My conf file is as below:-
dev tun
persist-tun
persist-key
data-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305:AES-256-CBC
data-ciphers-fallback AES-256-CBC
auth SHA256
tls-client
client
resolv-retry infinite
remote pallickal.duckdns.org 1194 udp4
setenv opt block-outside-dns
nobind
auth-user-pass
remote-cert-tls server
explicit-exit-notify
redirect-gateway def1<ca>

@Cleetus-Antony
You should not post your client certificate and TLS key in a public forum.And the server config would be more interesting than the client.
In the server settings you have "Redirect gateway" checked, I guess?
And again the question: Did you even state a DNS server? -
@viragomann
my mistake on certificate
As I stated, I have stated dns in server settings and I am getting tunnel IP, subnet, DNS IPs and no GW in my TAP adaptor in client PC. and consequently NO internet. I can access home network. -
@Cleetus-Antony
How do you want to access the internet?
Do you want to pass internet traffic over the VPN, so that yor get the home WAN IP or do you want to access the home LAN and go to the internet using your local WAN (split tunneling)?Please post the server configuration and the clients log.
-
@viragomann
I realize that this thread was very long to fix this issue.
Now I managed to fix the NAT side and OPENVPN rule to pass the traffic to outbound. Now I can get internet in my connected clients.
Thank you very much all for the advises. -
@viragomann
Now I managed to get full tunnel and get internet in connected devices.
Sorry to make this a very long discussion.
Thank you all.
If you don't mind, could you please delete the certificate chat section in this discussion ?
