Help understanding - Will this work

4Qman

Hi,

I have an APU2C4

I am playing around at the moment but need to see if this will work.

MODEM - APU2C4 WAN
LAN1 - SWITCH - Unifi AP (using public IP)
OPT1 - SWITCH (Configured to use VPN Provider IP

That way all wireless devices are via my ISP IP address and whatever is plugged into the OPT1 switch will be under the VPN providers IP

OPT1 - SWITCH (Configured to use VPN Provider IP

Your description is misleading
~~using public IP~~: use default gateway
~~Configured to use VPN Provider IP~~: use gateway of VPN tunnel

"Unifi AP (using public IP)"

Huh?? How is that? You mean your clients that connect to your wifi are natted to the public IP that is on pfsense wan?

" OPT1 - SWITCH (Configured to use VPN Provider IP"

This is misleading. You mean the network you have setup on pfsense opt1 is set to go out pfsense vpn client connection? What network did you setup on this opt1 interface? You could then setup its rules to send all traffic out the vpn connection.

Hi Johnpoz, thanks for the reply.

yes thats correct, this is working fine

" OPT1 - SWITCH (Configured to use VPN Provider IP"
When i check stats/openVPN it is showing connection is working.

But when i plug my laptop into the switch thats on OPT1 it doesnt give me a valid IP address.
OPT1 is setup as
Static
192.168.240.1 / 24

"But when i plug my laptop into the switch thats on OPT1 it doesnt give me a valid IP address."

What does this have to do with vpn client connection on pfsense?

Did you enable dhcp on your opt1 interface on pfsense?

Hi, thank you for bearing with me on this.. I am learning :)

I have followed this guide for OPT1
https://airvpn.org/topic/17444-how-to-set-up-pfsense-23-for-airvpn/

When i check system logs/gateways i get
sendto error: 65

I have OPT1 setup on static IP as per that guide. I have also changed it to DHCP with not luck.
