OpenVPN not working
-
I found the problem and it's working now, my pfblocker has the same subnet ip as the purevpn was trying to obtain. Only issue now is when I am connect to openvpn, the dns stops working ex: youtube.com when typed, but if I type the ip of youtube "172.217.13.206" manually on address bar it works.

Funny you should mention that. I just got an SG-1100 and was configuring it last night. I have 3 VPN connections defined, and when I bring one up in particular, everything dies. I also have pfB loaded. I was about to spend time today researching the problem but you may have just solved it for me.
-
@KOM so did it solve the problem?
-
No, it turned out to be a DNS issue.
-
@KOM I am having same issue, DNS stops working, when connected to OpenVPN
-
I think I had to specify a gateway under General Settings - DNS Servers.
-
@KOM I tired that, same thing dns stops working.
-
DNS fails for all of pfSense (not just LAN clients) when you bring a tunnel up? You can't resolve via Diagnostics - DNS Lookup?
-
@KOM Is it a bug?
-
I doubt it. Config problem 99.9% of the time. What about my questions?
-
I did, specified a "DNS" for gateway of VPN and for WAN_DHCP, but it doesn't seem to work. It won't resolve to anything it just keep loading forever, even under Diagnostics - DNS Lookup. It kill WAN, LAN

I asked:

-
DNS fails for all pfsense WAN, LAN, and can't be resolved under Diagnostic, DNS Resolver, when the open VPN is up.
-
And you're using Resolver? You have it set to listen on all interfaces, and use all outgoing interfaces? Maybe try setting Outgoing to WAN alone.
-
@KOM It's already set all, issue still persist.
-
Strange. Usually people have the opposite problem, where they're leaking DNS out the WAN. It should just work. I don't have any other suggestions except for the nuclear option: reinstall fresh, take backups at every config milestone when you know the system is working and revert back if something goes screwy.
