Several mac addresses use OpenVPN interface, rest use WAN?
-
I have 2 devices on a home LAN that need to use OpenVPN to access the internet
device 1 uses a fixed IP and is wired
device 2 uses DHCP lease and is wireless
all remaining devices don't require OpenVPNAt present my pfSense device is simply set up as a regular router with 1x WAN and 1x LAN
I'm about to create the OpenVPN client and interface
I'm wondering with my setup above, if its possible to create a rule that says something like "any device with the following MAC addresses must use the OpenVPN interface" ?
-
You can create an alias and put the IPs in it that you want to use the OpenVPN interface. Then put a firewall rule on your LAN (above the LAN to any rule) that specifies that traffic with source from that Alias uses the OpenVPN gateway (under advanced).
-
Add a static lease to your WiFi DHCP client, then add this to the alias list.
Then, as above, create the firewall rule.

Ah, good info. I'll give that a try, thanks.
I'm just doing the prep work at the moment before I add any rules to the firewall.
All I've done is
- Create the CA, for OpenVPN client
- Create the OpenVPN client (showing as UP)
- Create the interface OPT1 and set it to port ovpnc1
the problem i have is, as soon as i enable OPT1 interface and reboot, all my internet traffic stops
nothing has been configured by me to use OPT1, so why is this?
