      Have just set up my first OpenVPN tunnel, and the following is the log i get:

      It shows up as "Connected", but it really isn't? The following line concerns me:

      How can i fix this? subnet issue?

        Would need more info to advise on routing. Post your server1.conf.

        Also, it looks like you may have a cert issue.

          If that's something from the pfSense GUI or Console, then I will get to you with that soon. Also, I'm assigning the specific user SSL certs + the group certs... It tells me connected, but I stay on my physical local network...

          Thanks for the reply, will get back to you soon with more details...

              That looks like the client config, we need the server config.

              Your server1.conf is here:

              /var/etc/openvpn
              

              You can get there via the shell or Diagnostics -> Edit File

                  Still haven't gotten OpenVPN to work properly.. Don't know whats wrong, I've tried various forms of certs, and still nothing.

                        @wormuths Yes I did. Its most likely a WAN rule
                        issue for you too, as that's the first barrier OpenVPN encounters.

                        0_1531183629392_WAN rule.png

                        Also make sure your rules include TCP/UDP and not just one or the other (unless you want it like that)

                        Something so simple, but some OpenVPN "Experts" couldn't even tell me what was wrong 😆 😆

                        Let me know how it goes.

                          Nope. LOL

                          I created that rule, but same thing. Still shows my real IP. In all the tutorials I followed, once OpenVPN was set up, people couldn't browse until they went in and copied the NAT rules for the OpenVPN interface.

                          I didn't have that problem. I can browse even without creating the NAT outbound rules, but creating them makes no difference either. This is insanely frustrating.

                            @wormuths Make sure you OpenVPN setup has this ticked off

                            0_1531185299619_red.png

                            Also are you bridging the connections or is it going to be on a separate subnet like 10.0.8.0?

                              Sorry. Where is that setting?

                              This is a relatively new setup, but I have 4 interfaces besides WAN. I just have default pass rules set up for each right now so everything talks internally, and can get online. My goal is to set up specific pass rules after some testing period to ensure everything works first. It's a learning experience, so I'm just not locked down right now in the onset. Allowing all outbound, but nothing coming in except Plex is set up through NAT and works. No other incoming allowed.

                              The only incoming rule for WAN right now is the NAT rule for Plex. I set up the OpenVPN with the hopes of getting that part functioning, and then I'll disable the default "allow all" internal rules and start specifically specifying what can connect to each other.

                              Right now, all works, it just won't pass traffic through the VPN...

                                @wormuths VPN/OpenVPN/Servers (There should be only one listed)/Edit
                                Also take a look at the type of Protocol, and keep it consistent on all your rules.
                                Also are you using SSL/TLS?
                                You may need to re-export the client file and try again after changing some settings.

                                  I don't have a server setup. All the tutorials had me setup a client.

                                        @wormuths The tutorials are bad. Go to wizard under VPN/OpenVPN and set up a server. And then recreate your clients with user certs AND then the server certs. This is SSL/TLS authentication, its how I have it set up. It may get confusing, but there is not a tutorial about this one.

                                        I'd try to help you remotely, if you're up for it.

                                          Okay. I appreciate the help. I'll run through trying to go the wizard route tomorrow and post back how it works out.

                                          Long workday today, time to crash!!

                                          TTYL, and thanks!

                                            Okay, so I don't know if some setting got "stuck" and corrected when I was clicking around, but it came up and is working now...

                                            Thanks for the help!!
