OpenVPN connects but can't ping anything on the inside except for the firewall itself
-
Hello I’m trying to get OpenVPN access setup. I used the wizard to create the configuration and firewall rules. I’m able to connect to the VPN, even ping the firewall itself but that’s it. I Can’t ping anything on the inside.
Here’s my configuration and firewall rules. What steps can I take forward to troubleshoot the issue? They only thing unusual is I have the High Availability setup with CARP, so I have a second identical firewall on standby.
All settings are set to defaults except the following: General OpenVPN Server Information Description: Org OpenVPN Cryptographic Settings Data Encryption Algorithms: AES-256-GCM Hardware Crypto: Intel RAND engine Tunnel Settings IPv4 Tunnel Network: 172.18.0.0/16 IPv4 Local Network 172.22.0.0/16 Inter-Client Communication [v] Duplicate Connections [v] Duplicate Connection Limit [5] Advanced Client Settings DNS Default Domain lan.org.com DNS Server 1 172.22.1.1 DNS Server 2 172.22.1.2 Traffic from clients to server Firewall Rule [v] Traffic from clients through VPN OpenVPN rule [v] -

This are the WAN rules, but did you also add a pass rule on the OpenVPN tab? The wizard should have done this automatically though.
However, most probably the destination device itself is blocking the access from outside of its subnet. So you have to configure its firewall properly.
