Reaching Remote Subnet Through OVPN Client
-
Hi All,
I am upgrading some hardware including changing over a PFSense box at a remote location.
I have converted the config for the new hardware and the PFSense - Boots and runs and the VPN connects.
However for some reason - I cannot reach any of the devices on the subnet that the OVPN Client Server VPN connects to.
The worst of it - is the forum has helped me resolve this problem in the past - and I cannot for the life of me remember the solution.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

So the subnet is behind the server? And you are trying to access it from something behind the client end of the tunnel? From a client directly?
Most likely suspect here is a missing route somewhere.

There is a Class C Subnet on that Remote network - lets call it 192.168.1.1
The VPN Comes up from the network 10.16.0.100/16 - but unlike the original firewall setup you cannot reach 192.168.1.1 from 10.16.0.100/16 but you can on the old setup which is the same config ..I wondered if it was that trick were some of the items don't have gateways setup - and for the life of me I cannot remember how I fixed that - I think it was you Stephen who helped me! Do you remember :)?

If it was this thread then it looked like the devices in the remote subnet you were trying to reach were blocking traffic from outside the subnet. Adding the outbound NAT rule on LAN hides the source so they respond.
