openvpn client misbehaving
-
Hey,
I recently switched to development snapshots and I have noticed that suricata and openvpn together give out spams error messages to openvpn log and then eventually connects to the vpn. Anyone else experience this?
I have 2 clients running over tcp and both produce this issue.

Is the client address being blocked for some reason by suricata? A permission denied error like that is generally caused by a block in the outbound direction of firewall-sourced packets.
-
@derelict not that I know of, unless you want me to delete rule that isolates vlans
Here are my rules:
-
The only time I have seen a VPN just stop with permission denied was when the endpoint was blocked by IPS after the tunnel was established.
That wouldn't be a LAN rule, but a floating WAN rule in the outbound direction. I say WAN assuming that is the interface traffic to the OpenVPN server will be using.
Are there any firewall logs for that endpoint?
-
@derelict these are my floating rules, there are no alerts in suricata that I can see. Maybe its that ipv6 rule?
edit: nope its not the floating rule, everytime I restart suricata, I get those errors.
-
More interested in firewall logs showing blocked traffic to that remote endpoint destination - they will identify the rule that did the blocking.
I can't see it being an IPv6 rule since it's an IPv4 OpenVPN connection.
-
@Derelict The firewall blocks line up with the time I had the permission errors.

Hmm. That's the default block rule. Something must be killing the state.
-
@Derelict you think it might be "Skip rules when gateway is down" option under System/Advanced/Miscellaneous?
-
It would more likely be state killing on gateway failure. Are you having intermittent connectivity problems on that WAN?
Why did you mention suricata in the first place?
-
@Derelict I unchecked both "state killing on gateway failure" and “Skip rules when gateway is down” and created no_wan_egress tag for kill switch and I hope that will fix the issue. I mention suricata is because I saw other post here long time ago about it and I noticed it happen when I restarted suricata. Edit: It still happens without suricata enabled, so weird.
-
PF is still blocking openvpn but I have no idea what to do about this.
-
I created a bug report https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8541
-
Not convinced it's a bug. Probably a misconfiguration somewhere. Just because it's a mystery right now does not mean it's a bug. Steps to reproduce from a plain install would be the first step.
-
@Derelict Should "Reset all states if WAN IP Address changes" be enabled?
-
@strangegopher If that's what you want to have happen.
-
@Derelict Did a bit of reading about Asymmetric Routing https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Asymmetric_Routing_and_Firewall_Rules
I wonder if that is what is causing this.
-
Could be. Do you have an asymmetric routing situation? Draw out the pieces involved and it's usually obvious. That can certainly be a cause of out-of-state blocks like you are seeing.
-
Finally figured out a workaround that limits the
write TCPv4_CLIENT: Permission denied (code=13)
message to 10 seconds max. I addedkeepalive 3 10;
to custom options and I get this message for 10 seconds before ping-restart and then it connects. I have turned every setting I can think of on and off other than ramdisk and but for now I will live with this quirk. -
fixed the error by changing to hostname instead of ip address, I compared the system logs and openvpn logs and noticed openvpn tried to connect before wan interface was up so I changed it to hostname, now it starts before wan is up but won't connect until it can resolve the hostname.
extra options:
remote-cert-tls server; auth-nocache; auth-retry nointeract; tun-mtu 1500; tun-mtu-extra 32; mssfix 1400; mlock; pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway"; pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option";
