Unable to reach LAN IP after connecting to openvpn
-
@comet424 Thanks for your help but I am able to access the pfsense local ip after connected to vpn but able to access other ips which are in the same series.
Regards,
Ayan -
and I forgot to say if I use openvpn on my cell on my current network right now I loose internet I was mentioning above.. and that's with the force IP client button checked off you mentioned.. I disconnect from openvpn and internet is back... is that another setting I need or is it just conflicting
hopefully fixs when I test at the coffee shop

ayanbanerjee ah ok.. your 1 up on me.. I unable to ping my pfsense router 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.100.1 for the virtual network.. I followed that guys video and I unable to ping anything or get internet and I followed his instructions I watched the video 10 times still no luck and I mentioned it on youtube if you have the same ip address at like the guy said about starbucks what happens.. as its going to happen.. so I going to try his Force the client button and I going to try after the dentist... if doesn't work I going to try changing my ip address from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.254.x and the virtual ip to 192.168.253.x say as odds are no one uses it.. and I not sure if I can use 192.169.x.x over 20 yrs I been taught and used 192.168.0.x back in 90s using Wingate and Sygate trying to share internet over a dialup and network and network cards with dip switchs
problems over years gotten better but still problems I seen just different ones lol. like this vpn stuff I trying to teach myself lol -
@comet424 As per the video I have changed the VPN ip pool 172.16.12.x but same thing ... still I am unable to ping any of the lan ip which are belongs on 192.168.1.x series.

Please post up your openvpn config, your client config and what IP is your client on when you connect..
Not going to watch a 15 min video for something that takes 30 seconds to setup. Clickity Clickity through the wizard, export the client config = done..

172.16.12.2 is getting when my vpn got connected.
-
why are you putting that in custom options? Remove that.
Is your client getting the option to force all traffic out tunnel. What is the clients IP, not its vpn tunnel IP it gets. As already mentioned if your remove client is on the same network as your remote network its not going to work.
Lets see your clients route after you connect and the status of when your client connects... example
see here is my routes being added to the client per my above post

@comet424 said in Unable to reach LAN IP after connecting to openvpn:
but I loose internet and I cant ping…
Can't ping what?? Is what your trying to ping set to allow you to ping from 192.168.100/24 - for example windows out of the box firewall will not answer ping unless your on the same network..
You have to adjust the host firewall. For you to get internet access via this vpn connection, did you set your outbound nat for your tunnel network.. Should of done that for you, but if you had changed to say manual mode on your outbound nat than it wouldn't..
When you connect to your vpn, can you ping your lan IP of pfsense?
-
@johnpoz Hi, I have already removed the custom option.
My client IP is 192.168.5.100 -
so do a traceroute.. What do you get from that?
example here is traceroute to IP on my home lan network
C:\Windows\System32>tracert -d 192.168.9.100
Tracing route to 192.168.9.100 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 101 ms 108 ms 103 ms 10.0.8.1
2 106 ms 101 ms 109 ms 192.168.9.100Trace complete.
C:\Windows\System32>
Its long because my proxy is all the way in TX, while I am at work in Chicago, so from chicago to hou, back to chicago, etc. So yeah some added latency.
Ping and traceroute to the pfsense lan IP.. For example my pfsense IP on my lan is 192.168.9.253.. You trying to talk to devices on your lan might have host firewalls blocking your remote tunnel IP.
-
@johnpoz Hi, here is the story, I am able to reach the pfsense lan ip which is 192.168.1.2 but to ping any f the ip which are belongs to 192.168.1.x series.
-
Well then your going down the tunnel and as already stated points to host firewall, or the host your trying to ping using a different gateway other than pfsense.
You not being able to get to say public iP 8.8.8.8 down the tunnel would point to outbound nat not configured for your tunnel network on pfsense.
-
@johnpoz Hi, we are using only one GW and that is PfSense local ip 192.168.1.2 and also able to ping 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.2.2 when I am in VPN.
I am really clueless now :( -

here is my outbound nat I setas for the pinging what I ment was on my cell I have a Ping program when I'm not on my vpn I can ping say 192.168.0.15 which is my Freenas IP as soon as I connect to VPN I get the 192.168.100.2 for my cell and I loose all internet.. I can no longer ping 192.168.0.15(freenas) I cant ping 192.168.0.1 the router or 192.168.100.1 which be the router I in virtual lan setting and this happens when I connect open vpn using my home internet or at the coffee shop
I'm sure its something simple like a check box I missed that's causing all this right? for the traceroute id have to be at the coffee shop with the openvpn to get the results you want correct?
-
the only ip address I can ping while on vpn is 192.168.100.2 which is the cells ip address for the vpn..
so I confused I thought was so simple like the video showed boom boom boom done now your perfectly connected... I had to missed a step some how probably some check box I missed

here is the Rules pics for the firewall for the openvpn -

That is not a network that is a host!!! network would be 192.168.1.0/24
-
you have 2 different people posting different issues. Its becoming a bit hard to follow..
One guy says he has no problem getting to the internet through the vpn, the other says he can't etc. Just because your both having issues getting to your lan behind pfsense does not mean they are related to why.
I wold suggest the 2nd guy start your own thread.
-
@comet424 Based on your screenshots, your outbound NAT only allows the specific IPs of 192.168.0.51 and 192.168.0.52 outbound to internet. Any other clients will not be NAT'd so they will not be route-able on the internet. You need to add outbound NAT for your VPN subnet. If you are receiving an IP of 192.168.100.2 on your phone than I am guessing your VPN subnet is 192.168.100.0/24. You should create a NAT rule for that network outbound. You will not need to select static port on that entry. As a side note, if you want the VPN to just give you access to things on your local network and don't need or want VPN access, you don't need the NAT entry but you need to make sure the box that says "Force all client generated traffic through the VPN" is unchecked in your VPN server settings.
Hope that helps.

@bloodlogic ah I not sure and I posted a new article as I didn't wanna tick off johnpoz and confuse everyone more the 192.168.0.50 is for the router nat.. the 51. is to try to get xbox one to work properly throught pfsense which didn't work... and I did the check all clinent generated track because I was told to try that for conflicts when I uncheck it it didn't help I was told like I thought if I use 192.168.0.x as my local network and I connect to a coffee shop that uses 192.168.0.x as there network if there would be a conflict.. I tried both ways check and uncheck no difference once I connect to vpn I loose all internet connection and no longer can ping expect the virtual IP for the cell
-
@johnpoz Ok but could you please check the line stating regarding route addition failed
-
Dude you can not had a host address as a route.
-
@johnpoz thanks.. I was done some mistake on configurations.. but the ping issue still not solved.
-
@johnpoz Hi some more inputs from my side ,
after vpn connection people from LAN able to ping my vpn ip, so its look like its working in one way. by any chance is there anything I need to do in firewall side ?Please help.
-
THE HOST FIREWALL!!! ie the client on the lan side your trying to ping, its software firewall... Went over this way back in the thread..
Windows out of the box is not going to let some IP (tunnel network your remote guy got from vpn) ping it..
-
@johnpoz I have disabled all the Windows firewall but no luck
-
If you can ping your lan IP of pfsense, then your going down the tunnel.. Then that means you can get to the lan network... So sniff on the lan interface while you ping some lan client from your vpn... Do you see it send ping go towards the client. Do you see a response..
Here is example from my phone pinging my 192.168.1.100 box..
-
did you mess with openvpn firewall rules.. The wizard will create a any any rule.. Did you delete this - not use the wizard? Modify it?
-
@johnpoz the rule is there, i have used the wizard.
look like problem is different, all the clients are getting same ip after connecting vpn :(
-
Are you connecting multiple clients at the time? Multiple clients connected at the same time would not get the same IP. But yes client A connects, then disconnections and client B connects then sure it could get the same IP that A had before.
What does that have to do with pinging inbound to something on the lan?
-
@johnpoz Yes I am connecting multiple client in same time and getting single ip for all the client, I think if we solve this issue we will be able to solve the ping issue as well.
-
Are clients as using the same creds/certs access?
Did you setup some client override following some previous guide that you did not remove?
-
@johnpoz Yes right you are i am using the same access and cert for 2 number of vpn connection.
-
@johnpoz Thanks for the pointing out the user access thing.. now ip is different for the different users.. please please help me on the ping issue please :)
