OpenVPN to Target LAN resource Firewall Rule Set up
-
Hello all,
I successfully added an OpenVPN user through the wizard on pfSense.
I did the certificates authority and certificate server set up. I selected for server mode Remote Access(SSL/TLS + User Auth) as these are external WAN clients operating remotely in different time zones.
I exported the client package executable.
My question is in order to get LAN target resource .28 and .29 off of MS RDP and make them OpenVPN tunnel destinations I must set up the Firewall Rule correct?
Do I have to configure anything in NAT as well?
This is my first time working with VPN so I want to ensure I do this correctly.
Here is the Firewall scheme I have currently:
I also get a TLS handshake failure when trying to connect the VPN from external network device with the current client executable so I must troubleshoot that as well.
Thank you.

Hey
Hosts. 28 and .29 are in a lan network ?
-
Konstanti,
Yes IP ...28 and .....29 are computers that have been DHCP static mapped on our local area network.
So previously the two employees were getting into our LAN remotely via MS RDP, but that is not optimal since it is not secure.
So I am trying to get them to connect to those to destination computers in our LAN with OpenVPN instead.

Very much not well-versed in this so trying to be more specific and post in the OpenVpN board and not general discussion.
