Pfsense and openvpn for new users tutorial <– with Site-To-Site now

sullrich

You do not create filters on OpenVPN for 1.0. This has been covered already in the OpenVPN threads on this forum.

cheers,

updatet the documentation with the suggestions of Mr. Ullrich, and as expected
everything works fine after doing that. Pfsense can handle the tun0 stuff by itself
so everything is even easier now.

Download the latest version from:
http://www.uplinksecurity.de/data/pfsense-ovpn.pdf

Again, please check the document if you can find anything thats
not easy to understand, i will try my best to fix it so that really
everybody can install pfsense and ovpn by following it.

for the mods:
if theres nothing to change anymore, i will remove the BETA text
so you may add it to the tutorials section if you like to.

best regards

Wha….?

News to me. :) I've been adding tunX as an interface and assigning rules on mine. Oopsie! Time to go fix my configs again.

I scanned through it rather quickly but everything looks good at first glance.

I'll let someone more experienced with OpenVPN chime in, I just knew that tunX stuff was wrong.

removed the BETA tag, everything works as supposed here with that configuration.

you can download the latest Version at:

mods, please add this to the tutorial section, you may link
directly if you like to.

On page 15, Firewall: Rules

there is still an OVPN1 tag. On my system there is no tag, is this generated automatically? Or have you still assigned the tun interface? This is not possible any more and causes problems.

dairaen

damn, i already cutted that, how the f*** does it made it in there again!?

Thanks, naturally thats crap. I fixed it.

Nice work on the documentation, I wish it would of been around before I set it up (would of made it easier).
This will be very helpfull for users who want to setup Openvpn on Pfsense.

cheers,

new version online, since ppl still seem to have
problems with OpenVPN i added "Site-to-Site" VPN, any volunteers
are welcome to verify the new section.

sorry, uploaded a wrong version, please download again if you did,
a screenshot and some ip-adresses were wrong.

sullrich

Thanks for doing this! I have posted this to the tutorials section. Just let me know when to update it.

dairaen

sorry, small update (should be the last for a while)

removed the snapshot and RC stuff and advised ppl to use 1.0 Release.
fixed some typos
fixed some formatting stuff (i will never use Word & images again…)

And there is a small typo in your tutorial section, "warrior" is mispelled.
