New OpenVPN setup for road-warriors - connected but no routing
-
TUN is what I've been trying :(
I'm going to try it on a different remote computer, in case it's something wonky installed on my PC. Hopefully that's it, although it'll be annoying :)
-
I don't think thats it. While you arwe doing that, I'm going to get some coffee and try to find why you are not getting anything other than "peer" as options. Because thats not right. Not on pfsense 2.03 for sure.
-
Gah, just installed the Android client on my phone and it seemed to work right off the bat. Going to try a different remote machine.
-
hahahahahahahahahahahahah…. DAMN WINDOWS!!!!!!!
(Still doesn't explain your limited tunnel options to me)
-
Okay, so works on my Android phone and an Ubuntu VM I just spun up, but not on either of my Windows 8 computers. Guess there's something with the OpenVPN client on Windows 8…
-
Windows 8 firewalls?
Was the install ran as admin?Beyond that, I cant even imagine what.
-
Well I'll be… Once I worked out it's a Windows 8 + OpenVPN problem, I had something to Google, and came upon this post by Luis Silva.
You have to start the Network Connections service, which is normally set to "Manual", and only runs when the "network connections" dialog is open. Start that service, and the VPN client works!!

Thank you for helping me with this problem. I have learned something useful…
(True statement - Although, wasn't it supposed to be the other way around!)

I'd suggest a new thread on Windows 8myopenvpn…. actually.

You know, having huge blinking tiles everywhere is so much more important than network connectivity…

You mean here? I'm happy to write a quick post specifically for Windows 8 to help people find this info :)
-
Windows 8 looks like something designed for either the vision impaired or for exclusive use of kindergarteners or both.
But yeah, I suspect this solution will be something lots of people who moved beyond windows 7 will need to know.
-
I think you should white it up and maybe it will get "stickied" if something like it doesn't already exist or a fix isn't already in the works.
I don't use windows 8 or 7 or Vista… Or ME or... But I digress. -

What app and settings were used for it to make it work ? Do you mind sharing the pfsense rules that allow traffic to cross through the VPN? I've been reading your very good troubleshooting logic and I believe I am almost there. Thanks

Not to beat a dead horse, but has anyone run into this with windows 7? I have three machines that I am trying to Use and all are getting this same thing… Network connections are started on all...
It's the exact same symptoms though, connection just fine, but once connected I can only ping out tot he firewall. No network access.

I know it's an older thread but I wanted to throw out two things that helped me. We have a CARP setup so two routers.
-
router2 couldn't ping the OpenVPN-LAN subnet. Routes looked fine. Solution: reboot router2.
-
When testing, router1 worked fine. Router2 connected and I could ping the router but not further. Solution: devices on the LAN are set to the CARP alias IP as their gateway, so the VPN through router2 will only work if CARP failover is in effect so that IP is shifted to router2.
