VPN client access is blocked while connected to VPN server
-
I have a freenas machine with a transmission jail that connects to airvpn. At home I have no problem accessing it and has full Internet connectivity. However, when I connect to my pfsense openvpn server I can access everything on my lan but not my transmission jail. I thought I might be PFBlockerNG but have disabled and it still won't work. Still pretty new to PFsense and firewalling in general.

Anyone? If you have questions about the setup I can go into more detail…

Maybe the jail blocks access from unknown subnets like your VPN IP. If that's the issue you can solve it by doing outbound NAT at pfSense.

I thought that may be part of the answer. I had someone else on reddit run me through trying to setup static routes and it didn't work. So I'll look into outbound NAT. Any tips?

Add a rule:
interface: LAN (or which one your NAS is connected to)
source: VPN tunnel subnet
dest: NAS jail
translation: interface addressYour outound NAT has to be set to hybrid or manual rule generation.

That didn't seem to do it. I tried adding in the IP to the jail in the destination field, but it kept changing the IP to .0 instead of .2 at the end. Tried a few variations too, still no luck.

Have you set the mask to /32?
You may also try any here.

Good call I'll try that soon.

Nope, didn't work. I already have a outbound rule that has my VPN subnet set to any dest. I can access everything else on my network, just not this jail and only when connected to vpn.
