Routing specific LAN segment via OpenVPN tunnel
-
Ok, OVPN_99 is a VLAN, gotcha.
Just curious, what is in "pfB ET comprblock Spamhaus drop" alias?
Something's not adding up… because according to what I'm looking at, there are no rules allowing outbound traffic to the internet at all, so I'm not sure how ANY traffic sourced from this VLAN (99) is making it anywhere. It should all be blocked by the firewall.
Also, if you only want this VLAN accessible and routed thru your VPN, then why are there rules configured with the default gateway on this tab?
Another mystery, rule #3 (at the bottom), reads... allow traffic sourced from VLAN99 destined to other LAN interfaces and route that traffic over the VPN? I'm not sure why that's there..... why would you route local traffic between two interfaces on the same machine over a VPN tunnel?
I know you've already stated this, but I'm going to ask this specific question anyway because I hate to assume anything... is there any chance the rules you've listed are actually configured on the interface assigned to the tunnel instead of the VLAN interface? Please post the rules from both rules from both the VLAN interface and the interface assigned to the tunnel.
I also just noticed that your "LOCAL NETS" alias has vlan99 listed at 10.99.0.0/24, but your NAT mappings show "OVPN_99" lists the source as 10.99.1.0/24. Is there a simple typo in your alias? Or is there another reason for this discrepancy?

This smells like the same exact issue I'm having. Word for word, port forwarding, the packets are attempting to go out my WAN, while the 2 hosts on the LAN that have rules assigning the VPN gateway work as intended.
I'll follow this thread as well.

That's a pfBlocker list. I only recently added it, it was the same without it.

But there is, actually any traffic from the network 10.99.1.0/24 is allowed out to Internet via OVPN Gateway. I've tried a any/any (source any) rule going to the OVPN gateway and it's not working either.
The local nets rule is to access it from my other networks.Another mystery, rule #3 (at the bottom), reads… allow traffic sourced from VLAN99 destined to other LAN interfaces and route that traffic over the VPN?

No, that's sourced from VLAN99 not to other local nets. I.e. LAN traffic.

No, it's the VLAN interface :(
I tried adding the OVPN gateway on the tunnel interface rule - no difference (as a test). The OVPN rules are attached.
I also just noticed that your "LOCAL NETS" alias has vlan99 listed at 10.99.0.0/24, but your NAT mappings show "OVPN_99" lists the source as 10.99.1.0/24. Is there a simple typo in your alias? Or is there another reason for this discrepancy?
Typo from me! godfuckingdammit - that's like the 5th time :-[ :-[ Anyways, it's the same with the correct subnet.
As a reference - here's the tcpdump from OpenVPN interface, VLAN and WAN interface. First. I'm trying to establish a iperf session towards my VM1 host, then I ping out from VM1 to the server which tried to establish connection:

Seems fishy - however, I'm on 2.3.3, if that really makes a difference. Dod you setup work before you upgraded?

Why are you doing a pfblocker rule on your vpn connection… In what scenario would you have traffic you don't want coming from some spam source via your vpn connection??
I am confused on how your seeing traffic on your vpn tunnel with that private address 80.x.x.x
So your using using public IP space on one end of this tunnel? Your vpn sniff on that interface should only show your internal IPs

The openvpn server is not hosted on the machine I'm establishing a connection from, it's hosted in a DC in the middle.
Regarding the pfblockerng rule, since it's a WAN connection, I want the same ruleset for this interface as any other. Anyways I've tried with and without it - no difference.
-
Unless this is a bug (which it very well may be), my guess is the firewall rules are just over complicated and not being followed like you'd expect.
What VPN service are you using? I'd like to test the same scenario on my end.

Yes, but I need to know how the packet forwarding differs and what rules are being looked at differently when traffic is established from the outside versus inside.
The service is OVPN (https://www.ovpn.com/en) you can get a test account for a few hours I believe…

"it's a vpn tunnel wan service"
So in that case you would be natting to what the exit point is on that vpn service. If your not seeing return traffic..
"if I try to access a service running on a VM within VLAN99 externally"
This would have to be done via a port forward on the vpn service.. Your asking for unsolicited traffic to be sent down their tunnel.. Which you would then have to port forward on pfsense to what IP you want it to go to.. With a vpn privacy service your going to be behind a double nat..
So your client
192.168.1.100 –-> pfsense privateTunnelIP ---- vpn ----> VPNservice --- VPNpublicIP ----> internet
So to the internet you look like VPNpublicIP, answers get sent back to it, vpnservice state tables says oh that is privateTunnelIP so gets sent back to pfsense, pfsense says oh that is 192.168.1.100
What your asking for is unsolicated traffic..
Im on the internet and I talk to VPNpublicIP on port X.. That service has to have a port forward that says hey send that to privatedTunnelIP on pfsense. Pfsense has to have a port forward that says oh traffic hitting me on my privateTunnelIP on port X gets forwarded to IP 192.168.1.?

Yes, the traffic is port forwarded on the VPN service provider ingress, it's routed via my tunnel and port forwarded to the local host.
All seems fine here, since I do see traffic incoming (as per the tcpdumps).
The same for an established session from local host.
-
Per traffic in the tcpdump, the traffic IS arriving to the VPN ip, and arrives at the private IP in his vlan 99 group, and even responds, but the response is attempting to go out through the WAN, instead of the VPN gateway.
Yet he has the rules right there to use the gateway.

"but the response is attempting to go out through the WAN, instead of the VPN gateway."
Where are you seeing that??? The tcpdumps do not show that..

Could you explain what do you mean by unsolicited traffic? The traffic 80.239.147.29.42200 > 10.128.164.2.59362 is what I want, I just want the return path to go the same way... [/s][/s][/s] -
WAN interface, only the replies to the iperf session is here…

"The traffic 80.239.147.29.42200 > 10.128.164.2.59362"
Yes this coming into your vpn interface.
So sniff your vlan99 interface when you do that, is your port forward sending it out the vlan99 interface to your client and is your client answering back to pfsense?
You could have an asymmetrical issue where pfsense sends it on to your host on your vlan99.. But vlan99 host is sending it to a different IP as its gateway?
Also it seems you have multiple threads about the same topic?? You should have the mods merge them!!!
Have you posted your port forwards for your vpn interface?
-
I think it would also be helpful to see the rules from the "OPT" interface assigned to the tunnel as well.

I appreciate your help - but really, that information is already in the thread :) I have a TCPdump of my VLAN99 interface above, you can see that packets are being sent between the same IP's when it's "working" (ping test outbound) and not working (Iperf session inbound)

My problem seems to be the same as Kroem's. I had made mine around the same time he did.
He's on 2.3.3, I'm on 2.3.4

Ok - so I signed up for trial… Bing bang zoom working!!
I created client connection per their instructions - which are nice btw..
I then setup policy routing to send my client 192.168.9.100 out the vpn
Checked my IP! Yup going out the vpn
Setup the port forward to send that port to the same port on my box 192.168.9.100
Fired up HFS to listen on 58703
Checked if port was open on canyouseeme.org - boom Works!You can see the packet capture on the ovpn interface created, and then sniff on my lan and you can see my 192.168.9.100 box respond..
So I suggest you post up the same screenshots I posted..

What was your "default gateway"?
Because ours isn't the VPN gateway, we only want select systems to use that tunnel.
I can make port forwarding work flawlessly if I change my default gateway.
