Configuring VPN win7 clients with pfsense

LeCygne

Getting a static IP only fixes problem a) (dynamic IP) you'd still have to do what phil.davis has posted above for problem b) (Double NAT).

The dynamic IP part is even described in the guide you used. So you're only left with either port forwarding or bridging which you have to do on your DSL modem.

Hi…can i disable my modem' NAT ?

johnpoz

And which gateway do you have? I wish the terms would be used correctly, a "modem" does not do NAT.. If it a combo device of a modem and router (can do nat) then its a GATEWAY.. If does not have a modem then its just a router, etc.

If you tell use what is the model number of your "modem" and who your carrier is then we can look up if you can put the device in bridge mode – turn off nat..

Hi…below what i have :

but the last version (it's a router ).

thank you .

johnpoz

If its a modem and a router then its a gatway!

What is the model number – the HG510? I show an a model, a v model, just the 510... If your on the 520 there there even more model versions. Its real hard -- look on the device!!! What does it say for the model number?

HG655b

Well that is sure not the last one one the url you sent ;)

Simple google found this

and this
https://luciancovaci.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/adsl-romtelecom-configurare-in-bridge/

And from the manual
Says to adjust the connection type to bridge in drop down combo box.. So clearly it supports it - I would highly suggest you just contact your isp and them them you want to put it in bridge mode and they can walk you through the steps.

Guys help me…this is the last step of our topic .

i'm waiting you .

thank you .

I havent been able to get OpenVPN using TAP to work either as you can see from my post here http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,58724.0.html

I have got TUN working though, I can ping the pfsense firewall, ping other devices on the network and can even remote access onto my Win7 desktop and SSH to my linux servers from inside the lan.

It might pay to use TUN for now as I have seen some comments on this board that 2.0.x has some issues which might be affecting the TAP/Bridge mode, but these should be resolved when 2.1 is released. Alternatively you could try a beta of 2.1 if you fancy the risk.

LeCygne

Guys…i'm waiting you .

johnpoz

Waiting for what?

So now your pfsense has public IP on its wan? Then run through the openvpn wizard and your done.. Not sure what else you think you need to do?

What is not working now?

I'm waiting for this :i could see any device on my network (servers,printers,etc) .

johnpoz

Yeah once you vpn in, depending on what firewall rules you put in place you can access anything you want on your network. I vpn into my home network pretty much every day. I am on now - yes I can print to my printer if I want, I can remote desktop to any box on my network, I can access my file shares, etc. etc. etc.

D:>net view \storage.local.lan
Shared resources at \storage.local.lan

Thats my NAS on my home network, while I am here at work.

So tell me what are rules will i use ?

thank you .

johnpoz

You wouldn't use any rules really unless you want to limit or block something - wizard should create the default rule

IPv4 * * * * * * none OpenVPN pfsense wizard

The above is what I have in my openvpn tab

What is subnet' ip address are you using and for vpn' clients ?

johnpoz

You can use whatever you want.. I use 2 different ones for tcp or udp connections I use

NO TCP / 443 10.0.200.0/24 pfsense tcp
NO UDP / 1194 10.0.8.0/24 pfsense udp

Just use something that is unlikely to conflict with the network segment connecting to you.

So why i could not see any device on my network also i can't ping any device except my pfsense ?

i have a rule like your rule on my WAN and LAN

Are we to just guess your setup? For all I know you have host firewalls blocking ping. What does could not see mean? Are you talking like a windows browse list - thats not going to happen over different segments and a nat. You could run a wins server if you want to have browselists across segments.

For all we know you have 192.168.1.0/24 on your pfsense lan side and remote network is also 192.168.1.0/24 – are you sending your route, is the client getting the route?

Post up your openvpn config, did you do a traceroute from the client that could not ping your pfsense box? Is he sending the traffic down the tunnel?

tunnel network : 192.168.10.0/24
my lan:192.168.1.0/24

after connecting to my network i got 192.168.10.6 (windows told me that )

after that i can ping only pfsense box

tell me exactly what are you looking about openvpn confi because there are many fields with vpn confi .

Also about i could't see any device i mean at least i ping them (my devices:pritner,computers,servers)
and sharing files .

i hope what i told you to be helpful .

thank you .
