      Hello

      First i wana say sorry for mine bad english   :-\

      So i hawe 2 PFSense boxes one at home, second at work. I read manual how to setup OpenVPN and tryng to set it :) Mine goal is to route big part of trafic thru home.

      Mine tunel seems going up… But i cant ping mine HTTP server at adress 192.168.1.1 and any other pc at home :( i'm reading manuals about OpenVPN and so mest up now... and dont get any ideas why it is not working (

      Home network (here is OpenVPN server)
      LAN 192.168.1.0/24

      Office (OpenVPN client)
      LAN 192.168.255.0/24

      If you can tell me where is  OpenVPN config file i can paste here all config (i dont want paste images)

        Friend told me that server and cliend creates tunnels with diferent IP's.

        Server ifconfig
        inet 192.168.200.1 –> 192.168.200.2 netmask 0xffffffff
        Client ifconfig
        inet 192.168.200.6 --> 192.168.200.5 netmask 0xffffffff

        It must be so, or it is wrong ?

        Since no one replying me :) couse  such a noob (i think) maybe at least you can say me where in PFSense files tree i can find Open vpn config files...

          Sorry i didnt see your thread.

          From what i see, i assume you want to use openVPN in a site-to-site.
          Also you seem to use a PKI.

          Use a shared key for site-to-site.
          If you set the site-to-site up you can define what lies on the other side of the tunnel. (Field remote network).

          Change your setup to a shared key setup, set the "remote network" and it should work.

          We do what we must, because we can.

                OK here we go…
                First i generated Shared key

                Then i making OpenVPN server with settings

                Protocol -> UDP
                Dynamic IP -> unchek
                Local port -> 1194
                Address pool - > 192.168.200.0/24 (this is tunnels pool address space, it must be diferent from routers lan anddress space… mine is 192.168.1.0/24)
                Use static IPs -> unchek
                Remote network -> 192.168.255.0/24 (this is clients router lans space)
                Cryptography -> BF-CBC
                Authentication method -> Shared Key
                Shared Key -> (enter key here)
                DHCP-Opt.: NetBIOS node type -> none
                DHCP-Opt.: Disable NetBIOS -> chek
                LZO compression -> chek

                Now client

                Protocol -> UDP
                Server address -> (put yours OpenVPN server IP)
                Server port -> 1194
                Interface IP -> 192.168.200.0/24 (tunnels address space… must be same as servers)
                Remote network -> 192.168.1.0/24 (this is server LAN's address space)
                Proxy port -> 3128
                Cryptography -> BF-CBC
                Authentication method -> Shared Key
                Shared Key -> (enter key here)
                LZO compression -> chek

                Now you just need Firewall rules.

                So its all... for me

                To redirect trafik you need
                On OpenVPN server:
                Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound -> Manual Outbound NAT rule generation (Advanced Outbound NAT (AON))
                And set rule for each network thats needs to get out.
                VPN -> OpenVPN -> Server -> Custom options
                Add option [push "redirect-gateway def1"]

                Now on Cleint side
                VPN -> OpenVPN -> Client -> Custom options
                –route 62.231.8.188 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254; --route 70.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.1.254;
                This routes 62.231.8.0/24 and 70.0.0.0/8 trafik int to the tunnel...

                Sorry for bad english

                  Well i can now ping thru  tunnel…  :)
                  But next step for me is to redirekt some trafik trhu mine new OpenVPN tunnel... And i hawe problem.... Like always :) lol

                  when i tri do:
                  Tracing route to ereality.ru [62.231.8.188]
                  over a maximum of 30 hops:
                    1    1 ms    1 ms    <1 ms  pfsense.local [192.168.255.254]
                    2    1 ms    1 ms    1 ms  192.168.107.254
                    3    43 ms    42 ms    42 ms  62.231.8.188
                  Trace complete.

                  it is fine… but i'm entering a static route to redirect trafik:
                  iterface -> LAN
                  Destination networt -> 62.231.8.188/32
                  Gateway -> 192.168.1.254 (thats adress of mine OpenVPN server LAN network card… its serving like gatevay for network 192.168.1.0/24)

                  Then i can trace :(
                  Tracing route to ereality.ru [62.231.8.188]
                  over a maximum of 30 hops:
                    1    1 ms    <1 ms    1 ms  pfsense.local [192.168.255.254]
                    2    4 ms    4 ms    3 ms  192.168.200.1
                    3    *        *        *    Request timed out.
                    4    *        *        *    Request timed out.

                  like i see it goes thru 192.168.255.254 (thats OpenVPN client LAN gateway), then 192.168.200.1 (thats tunnel),, and boom….

                  Any one hawe any ideas ???

                  Thank you for your time

                      You dont use pushes if not in a PKI.

                      To add new routes in a shared key setup you add the custom "route" line on the client:
                      FOr the syntax of the route command refer to:
                      http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/manuals/openvpn-20x-manpage.html

                        where 192.168.1.254 is lans gateway of OpenVPN server
                        and cant trace any adress of 80.240.10.0/24 network

                        Tracing route to cable-10-40.cgates.lt [80.240.10.40]

                          On the server side:
                          You have to enable Advanced outbound NAT and create a rule that NAT's the office-side.

                              You dont use pushes in a PKI.

                              To add new routes in a shared key setup you add the custom "route" line on the client:
                              FOr the syntax of the route command refer to:
                              http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/manuals/openvpn-20x-manpage.html

                              I am trying to set a openvpn between my windows and work using pfsense. I am using PKI authentication. Have been struggling for days, googled but aparently google does not indexes the board well, so I came here to check if there is really nothing on the topic. Apparently there is a lot.
                              Have I correctly understood that with PKI the push of the remote network is disabled/not executed???
                              Please, confirm this.

                              PS. Pfsense team! Great work!!!

                                Sorry was a typo.

                                You dont use pushes if not in a PKI.
                                You DO use pushes in a PKI.

                                What exactly doesnt work in your setup?
                                Did you read the HowTo's on http://openvpn.net

                                  ;D Thanx, I almost wagged a war on the router! And in fact I managed to ping the VPN gateway from the Pfsense, so my remote machine did respond, but only from Pfsense, not from the local net. So no site2site real connection :(

                                  This post is about my problem!
                                  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,9884.0.html

                                  So finnally..in conclusion!
                                  To have a site2site between pfsense and Suse distro I need use:

                                  • PKIs and push? not shared keys, right???
                                  • and change my networks to RFC 1918 networks standard???

                                  I shall forgot about my XP, although I am willing to try to configure it as a router :) …can I do that with cygwin ..sorry this is different topic

                                    For a site-to-site i would not use a PKI and pushes.
                                    A PKI is intended to be used with roadwarriors. (Or really many site-to-site connections, 10+)

                                    In a shared key site-to-site setup you define what lies on the other side of the tunnel via the "route" command. In the gui this is the "remote subnet" field.

                                    Search the forum on that. Read the stickies.
                                    There is really a LOT of info around. Also it might not hurt if you read the howto's on http://openVPN.net
                                    And the sample-configs openvpn.net provides.

                                    And yes you should move your address space to RFC1918.

                                    We do what we must, because we can.

                                      Thank you very much GruensFroeschli,

                                      Now everything much more clear. The topology that has been setup is obviously the problem.

                                      10x again.
