<p dir="auto">I've setup a network time machine share and would like this discoverable by clients connecting over an OpenVPN setup on my PFSense box.<br />
I'm aware of the Avahi package that can accomplish this and I've installed the package and made sure the Avahi service is running.</p>
<p dir="auto">My impression of this package is that it should just 'work' for the most part.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm unclear as to whether Avahi works over OpenVPN client connections and I haven't been able to find any documentation that can confirm or deny this.<br />
It's not working out of the box though - VPN clients are not able to pick up any bonjour/mDNS traffic.<br />
With the exception of tinkering (and then reverting) a few of the settings, I haven't touched any of the defaults. No interfaces are being denied in the Avahi configuration. The system logs show Avahi starts up ok and binds to all interfaces on the router.</p>
<p dir="auto">Can anyone confirm/deny whether Avahi will relay mDNS over OpenVPN client connections?<br />
If so, what may I be doing wrong?</p>
<p dir="auto">I'll be happy to provide any information needed.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>
