Multipurpose openvpn server with /30 client specific override

[jlord87]

Hi everybody!

I've spent the last two days googling and testing trying to apply this howtos: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/OpenVPN_multi_purpose_single_server

I'm trying to create a single VPN and some override for specific users;
under linux everything works great. Under Windows some route is missing, the client doesn't get a gateway and so is not able to route traffic.

here are my subnets:
LAN: 192.168.3.0/24
openVPN server: 192.168.37.0/24
CSC subnets: 10.33.250.0/30, 10.33.250.4/30, 10.33.250.8/30 etc.

here my server conf:

dev ovpns4
verb 1
dev-type tun
dev-node /dev/tun4
writepid /var/run/openvpn_server4.pid
#user nobody
#group nobody
script-security 3
daemon
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
proto udp
cipher AES-128-CBC
auth SHA1
up /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup
down /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkdown
local 192.168.133.2
engine cryptodev

push "route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0"

tls-auth /var/etc/openvpn/server4.tls-auth 0
comp-lzo adaptive
topology subnet
route 10.33.250.0 255.255.255.0

here my csc conf:
Tunnel network: 10.33.250.4/30

push "route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.33.250.4"
ifconfig-push 10.33.250.4 255.255.255.252

What I've found strange, even under linux, is that in my 10.33.250.0/4 subnet my client gets the 10.33.250.0 ip… and I cannot ping any 10.33.250.x gateway...
even if it "works"...

any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you

Under Windows some route is missing

From VPN / OpenVPN / Client Export Utility (when the client export package is installed)

Management Interface
Use the OpenVPNManager Management Interface. This will activate management interface in the generated .ovpn configuration and include the OpenVPNManager program in the Windows Installers. With this management interface, OpenVPN can be used by non-administrator users.This is also useful for Windows Vista/7/8/10 systems where elevated permissions are needed to add routes to the OS.

NOTE: This is not currently compatible with the 64-bit OpenVPN installer. It will work with the 32-bit installer on a 64-bit system.

What I've found strange

No, no you don't get to comangle two questions in one with insufficient detail. You said previously everything works great . Cannot ping is not great, it's broken.  It may not be allowing icmp on Firewall / Rules / OpenVPN.
