How to access Nas4free behind pfsense openvpn
-
The whole point of setting up a vpn is access to your networks.. So yes can deploy openvpn to get access to this…
Do you have some ? about how to setup the vpn? Did you run through the wizard?

thanks for your reply.
Yes i do but the only thing i don't understand is the "Tunnel Network"
is this is the address of my local nas4free or it is third party address
-
The tunel network is the VPN network between server and client. You may enter here any private network you want, the only attention you have to pay here is that it doesn't overlap with networks on server and client side.
The server side network you want to be able to access have to be entered at "IPv4 Local network/s" in CIDR notation (for a single IP use /32).
-
This seems pretty clear to me..
Tunnel Network – Should be a new, unique network that does not exist anywhere in the current network or routing table.
-
if i am picking it right i can use 10.25.30.1/24 ? as it could be the new network?
-
now since i am able to run vpn on pfsense and can access many things except nas4free and owncloud this is strange still i can not able to access my storage server ?
my pfsense 192.168.0.1 openVPN
local LAN 192.168.0.0/24
tunnel 10.0.7.0/24
remote ip 192.168.10.0/24nas4free
host 192.168.10.0/24 10.0.70.0/24 192.168.1.0/24gateway 192.168.0.1
what wrong I am doing?????
please help -
@irs:

Best not to use anything in the 192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8 ranges for your tunnel network, as these are often used in private networks that you might be trying to use the VPN from.
Try something less likely to conflict with those ranges. Maybe 172.23.46.0/24
-
but I am not using 192.168.0.0/16 for my tunnel
my tunnel is 10.0.7.0/24 -
Maybe the access is blocked by the nas4free itself. Check if it's accessible from another network connected to pfSense.
-
nas4free is working on LAN no problem. but as soon as i tried to ping from openvpn it fails

irs,
Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this.
Is it the NAS4Free web GUI that you cannot access, shares on NAS4Free or both?
What is the IP address of your OpenVPN client before you your start OpenVPN? Is it always in the range 192.168.10.0/24?
Your pfSense subnets are as follows:
LAN - 192.168.0.0/24 (NAS4Free is in that subnet. Correct?)
Tunnel - 10.0.7.0/24
Correct?Can you please post screenshots of the following:
Each of these sections from pfSense GUI:
VPN / OpenVPN / Servers / Edit
Firewall / Rules / WAN
Firewall / Rules / OpenVPN
Firewall / NAT / Port ForwardFrom NAS4Free:
System > General Setup
Network > LAN Management
Network > Firewall
WebGUI section of System > General Setup -
can your nas4free get to the internet? Your first post stated
1. Nas4free ip: 10.0.10.15
I think I am going to fireup a copy of nas4fee on my esxi host.. This really should be just clickity clickity!!
edit: Like I thought clickity clickity.. Fired up nas4free as vm on my home network esxi host. Set it to dhcp, got IP address 192.168.9.218, I then accessed the gui and setup the host allow in general to allow my vpn tunnel network and my local 192.168.9.0/24 network.
Bing bang zoom - into the gui from my vpn connection, before this got the 403 forbidden error.

That was in this thread. Here it's on the LAN.
Maybe a mod could lock the other topics in NAT and General Questions
-
No in this thread go to the top of the page he states 10.0.10.15 Which is why you don't freaking cross post ;)
I have no idea what he is doing - this literally took a minute to setup…. There is nothing special to do other than allow your vpn tunnel network access via the screenshot I posted.

Thx dear, Yes I changed as I was trying different options at different times. but still no luck my nas4free can not access internet. I have installed it in new machine without firewall but still nas4free can not access internet.
The host you suggested I tried that as well but no luck. i tried with several ip but no way.
 -
I thought the problem was that you couldn't access teh NAS4Free from OpenVPN.
You are now saying that it can't access the internet.

Why do you have 0.0.0.1/1, 1.0.0.0/2, 2.0.0.0/3 and 192.168.10.0/24 in the Hosts Allow?
I think you might need to learn something about networking before you go any further.
-
some other guy suggested to have allow host and try though i tried 192.168.10.0/24 10.0.7.0/24 but no luck
-
dude can your nas4free access the internet or not?
I already posted how freaking clickity clickity simple it is to allow access from other networks. Your screenshots are not even the correct place to do that for access to the webgui..
