OVPN Server with DD-WRT client - remote network not reachable

MrSliff

Hello there,

i set up a p2p VPN with pfSense as the server and a DD-WRT Router as a client. The connection itself works so far and i also got the access from DD-WRT network to pfSense network working.

However, the connection from pfSense to DD-WRT networks is not working. Means from Server side to client side.

pfSense Networks:
192.168.0.0/16 (complete LAN network)
10.1.200.0/24 (OpenVPN network for p2p connection)

pfSense routing table:
10.169.1.0/24 -> 10.1.200.2 (Ovpn client address as gateway)
10.169.10.0/24 -> 10.1.200.2 (Ovpn client address as gateway)
(i also tried here to set 10.169.0.0/16 as destination)
10.1.200.2 -> client address of DD-WRT ovpn client

DD-WRT networks:
10.169.1.0/24
10.169.10.0/24

DD-WRT routing table:
192.168.0.0/16 -> 10.1.200.1 (OVPN Server gateway)

I also set up Firewall rules to accept any to any on OVPN Network

So, accessing pfSense network from DD-WRT side work without problems, but if i try to ping from a host on pfSense side to a host on DD-WRT side it fails.

The Ovpn client address is pingable from pfSense, also on DD-WRT side, if i ping from client ip (10.1.200.2) to any device in DD-WRTs network (i.e. 10.169.10.1), the ping works too.

Am i missing something there?

Thanks for helping

Since it's a P2P, you should use a /30 mask for the tunnel network.

Rules on the OpenVPN tab has no impact on the outgoing traffic to the client side, only these ones on the LAN.
