How to send VPN traffic via gateway? Static routes & Firewall rules are ignored
-
I am trying to connect to some OpenVPN server with OpenVPN client from
LAN
machine behind thepfSense
router.Experimentally I found that my server restarts connection if multiple WANs are enabled.
Now I am trying to do so that it worked with one WAN automatically, i.e. I want to pass all
UDP
traffic to specific address via specific interface.I tried:
-
add firewall rule with IP + UDP + gateway ==> didn't worked
-
add static route with IP ==> didn't worked
-
add top firewall route with IP+UDP and w/o gateway to trigger default routing usage and + static route IP ==> didn't worked.
I am observing interfaces with
tcpdump -i IFACE host HOST
.I started OpenVPN connection from Windows machine and started
ping -t 10.10.0.62
where this IP is from VPN subnet.In any case I see most packets go through single WAN interface but some packets still go through another WANs.
Why? How to force
UDP
traffic to go via specific gateway correctly? -

It was idle
OpenVPN
connection from third machine from theLAN
keeping tunnel and packets going!!
