Site To Site VPN consideration
-
Hello All,
Site A Site B
I need to establish site to site VPN with both site Lan Ip's that are routable on the internet <<lan 21x.x.x.x="">>Pfsense>>Internet>>Pfsense<<195.x.x.xLAN>>
My question is could it cause issues when routable ip from site A need to communicate with ip from site B or its transparent for them ?
Please advice
Thanks</lan> -
It should work. Once the OpenVPN tunnel establishes, the routing table at 21x.x.x.x will have an entry for 195.x.x.x/n that will send those packets across the tunnel. Similarly the routing table at 195.x.x.x will have an entry for 21x.x.x.x sending those packets across the tunnel.
Once the user packets between 21x.x.x.x<->195.x.x.x are in the tunnel, they are encapsulated and encrypted inside OpenVPN packets. Routers on the real internet only see the OpenVPN tunnel endpoints as source/destination.
It will be transparent to the users at either end. and internet routers can't see the details of the user packets encrypted inside the OpenVPN tunnel comms. -
