No wrong.
192.168.5.1 is pfsense.... :(

@bingo600 if I try a trace to www.google.it IP address as host I get this:
18:25:31.846958 IP 192.168.5.1.4704 > 172.217.168.35.443: UDP, length 1350
18:25:31.883433 IP 172.217.168.35.443 > 192.168.5.1.4704: UDP, length 1350so it is using 192.168.5.1 as gateway....
Nope
It's using 5.1 as source IP (Consistent with your WAN NAT)If you enable logging on the Policy rule , do you see any log lines ?
Now you are not doing the traceroute on the pfSense box ... Are you ?
What PC ip address are you doing the traceroute from , and are you 100% sure you have that ip in the OPENVPN Alias , and a policy route rule on the pfSense interface that that PC is connected to ?

If you enable logging on the Policy rule , do you see any log lines ?
Yes, it is the only rules that has logging
Now you are not doing the traceroute on the pfSense box ... Are you ?
No, I am doing it from iMac client (192.168.20.110)
What PC ip address are you doing the traceroute from , and are you 100% sure you have that ip in the OPENVPN Alias , and a policy route rule on the pfSense interface that that PC is connected to ?
I am using a firewall rule like this on the same interface of the client (192.168.20):
and NVPNGTW is the gateway I added to pfsense in the gateway section.

That's a (for me strange rule) why does it have WAN all the way to the right ?
Are you using floating rules ? -
@bingo600 no no, sorry, it is only the description. Ignore it.
-
Is that rule all the way at the top ?
-
@bingo600 yes, sure
-
@chrispazz
I have to pull in the tuff guyzz now.@stephenw10
Any ideas here ?? -
But just to summarize :
You say if you put a PC on the 192.168.5.x lan , and set 192.168.5.99 (RasPI) as def-gw , the PC can use the RasPI & OpenVPN tunnel ok ?
You have put all desired OPENVPN PC's in a IP HOST Alias
You made direct host entries in the rule, and made Policy based rules with the RasPI as Gateway , on all the interfaces where a "OPENVPN" PC could be connected ?But the pfSense won't match the source ip's, and therefore won't policy route t the RasPI. This is also confirmed by , enabling logging in the Policy rule. And no loglines appear.
Q:
We did a trace (the first one above) , where we succesfully matched a ping to google.it , and you got both loglines , and we saw the policy routing in effect in the pfSense packet trace.What has changed in the pfSense config since that ?
Was that test also made with the iMAC ?
Q:
You do use either static IP's or DHCP MAC Lock (Reservation) , in order to ensure that the PC's used for test & OPN always get the same ip ?. -

Yes, correct.

No. The rule is correctly engaged and it is logged in firewall log but it seems to ignore the Raspi used as gateway.
Q:
We did a trace (the first one above) , where we succesfully matched a ping to google.it , and you got both loglines , and we saw the policy routing in effect in the pfSense packet trace.Currently, using 192.168.5.9 (Raspi gateway) as host, trace display the following when doing a ping to www.google.it:
19:32:03.251588 IP 192.168.5.1 > 192.168.5.9: ICMP echo request, id 43267, seq 26591, length 9
19:32:03.252028 IP 192.168.5.9 > 192.168.5.1: ICMP echo reply, id 43267, seq 26591, length 9Doing packet trace using google IP as host gives the following:
19:33:38.627397 IP 192.168.5.1 > 172.217.168.3: ICMP echo request, id 10411, seq 0, length 64

The packet tracing is done pinging from Imac to www.google.it
Q:
You do use either static IP's or DHCP MAC Lock (Reservation) , in order to ensure that the PC's used for test & OPN always get the same ip ?.I have IP reservation for iMac and static IP for Pfsense.
Just to give you more confirmation about the rule catched, consider that without that new rule, the connection has to go via the pfsense VPN client.
If I deactivate the rule, the connection go with pfsense VPN client. if I enable the rule, the connection exit with ISP gateway (no raspi VPN). -

What does that mean ?
Currently, using 192.168.5.9 (Raspi gateway) as hostWasnt the RasPI 192.168.5.99 ?
What does as host mean (you mean you ping the raspi) ?
The below 2 traces both show a req & a reply

We need to see the mac addresses in those packets.
And compare to the RasPI mac address

HOST is the captured Host address
We need to see the mac addresses in those packets.
b8:27:eb:8e:00:43 is Raspi MAC Address
02:11:32:25:4e:f9 is pfsense WAN interfaceFull detailed trace is the following:

Now do the same trace with the google ip as the destination
Your iMAC isn't multihomed ?
I mean both cable & WiFi -
@bingo600 here it is:

Currently iMac is connected only with wifi so no multiple ip

Trying to understand who is dc:39:6f:f2:4d:e4....
My money is on the ISP router 5.254
pfSense Diagnostic -> arp table will reveal
-
@bingo600 you are right!
-
In the capture , strange it matched ....
didn't you set 192.168.5.99 as ip match ? -
@bingo600 latest try was with google IP as you asked....am I wrong?

-
@bingo600 only "ping www.google.it".
But in first trace I used the raspi as Host capture.
