offloading OpenVPN using external gateway

@chrispazz said in offloading OpenVPN using external gateway:
Yes I enabled forwarding in Raspbian but I cannot understand why it is going outside without using VPN
Does the package reach the RasPI (using the gateway you set) ?
Or does the pfSense never send it to the Raspi ? -
@bingo600 I do not know how to check this on the RPI side....
I followed this guide:

Quick hack
Enable temporary logging on the Policy Rule , look for log entries to confirm your rule matches "interesting traffic".Real Packet capture (on pfSense).
Diagnostic --> Packet CaptureI suppose your pfSense Wan Interface is the one connecting to the "ISP Router LAN" ?
Packet Capture on pfSense
If you have a screen + kbd on the RasPi , you could install wireshark on that one , to do the packet capture.If only SSH , install tcpdump on the RasPI
How about NAT ?
Are you natting on your pfSense WAN IF ?/Bingo
-
You say your pfSense is 192.168.99.1 , but the drawing shows 99.250
Is the 99.1 interface a pfSense "inside Lan" ip ?
How does the 192.168.99.x interface relate on the drawing ?
I expect your pfSense to have a WAN ip on the ISP router LAN , meaning the 192.168.5.x range.
Since you say you can ping and prob SSH to the Raspi , i assume that is correct or ??

@bingo600 NAS is 99.250.
Inside NAS (Synology) I run a VM with pfsense (99.1).I tried enabling logging on the rule and I can confirm it is using it.
Yes, my pfsense WAN interface is the one connecting to the ISP router.
And yes, I am using NAT on the pfsense WAN if.... -
Just for completeness
What is your pfSense WAN IP ? -
@bingo600 it is 192.168.5.254

Ok
Now try to do a packet trace on the pfSense WAN
Set host address to the Raspi IP
And generate some traffic destined for VPN
-
@bingo600 oops....sorry. Inside IP of router is 192.168.5.254.
Pf sense has 192.168.5.1 on the WAN side...

Activated packet capture on host 192.168.5.9 and opened a webpage with www.google.it:
16:58:57.410983 IP 192.168.5.1 > 192.168.5.9: ICMP echo request, id 43267, seq 8815, length 9
16:58:57.920985 IP 192.168.5.1 > 192.168.5.9: ICMP echo request, id 43267, seq 8816, length 9 -

did you mean 5.99 -
@bingo600 yes is 5.99 :) don't hate me eheheh
-
So we have confirmed that the ICMP (ping) packages are actually being "policy routed" from 5.1 (pfSense) to 5.99 (RasPI)
We don't see any Echo reply ... The issue is probably on the RasPI
-
On the Raspi (as root)
What does a : sudo iptables -L show ?
And this one ?
-
This post is deleted! -
Did you reboot the RasPI after enabling forwarding ?
-
@bingo600 yes, forward is activated.
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHEDChain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHEDChain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destinationand yes, I rebooted it a lot of times :)
-
Does this one give the expected result , should be your (OpenVPN public ip) ?
wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO -
Can you ping the google.it from the RasPI ?

Both yes.
And if I test a traceroute from raspi I can confirm it is going outside using VPN connection....
