OpenOSPF over OpenVPN Tunnels - is it possible
-
Hi there,
i recently installed the OpenOSPF package to my pfSense 1.2.3 (running on a standard x86 rack-server) and wanted to run OSPF over my OpenVPN tunnels. But the only interfaces I'm able to select are WAN (static, located at a DC) and LAN (static, private subnet for IPMI etc.). Is there any workaround to select those OpenVPN tunnels as the working interface for OSPF?
Regards,
Tim

Did you disable the autogenerated vpn rules and assign the openVPN interface like a normal interface?

It works great. We use it all the time for redundant VPN setups with OpenVPN.
As GruensFroeschli mentioned, just assign the OpenVPN instances as interfaces (Interfaces > (assign)) and then you can pick them in OpenOSPFd.

Hi there,
thanks for this advice. But then, another problem occurs:
After running a while (1-2 mins) with OpenOSPF on my tun0 interface, the connectivity stops working, even the tun0 ip is not pingable anymore by the remote side. A any-any rule has been added to the firewall. Anything missing? May the "remote network" be the problem? I could imagine.

[DONE] SOLVED
Thanks, found the causing on my own. Did uncheck the "redistribute connected" and disabled to redistribute the public, external IP-range. That's it… Thanks for all your help! :-)
