      Hi folks!

      I have got an issue with selective routing over openVPN.
      The tunnel is working fine and is up and stable.
      I want to route a /24 IP range over the tunnel out on the net on the openVPN server side.

      The route is pushed out from openVPN server.
      Traceroute from openvpn client pfsense works.
      Traceroute from local client behind pfsense client does not work.
      Pfsense version:
      2.0-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Tue Sep 13 17:28:43 EDT 2011

      Packet capture on pfsense client gives:

What am I doing wrong here?
Is it a firewall rule I have overlooked?

        Im here to post a small update as my serch for get the problem solved continues, but have not heard anything word from here yet.

        Apparently the server pfsense tries to answer my client mashine:

         15:16:52.719307 IP 192.168.10.XX.36926 > XX.XX.XX.XX.33437: UDP, length 32
15:16:52.719366 IP 10.0.46.1 > 192.168.10.XX: ICMP time exceeded in-transit, length 36

        It says:

        The Time Exceeded Message is an ICMP message which is generated by a gateway to inform the source of a discarded datagram due to the time to live field reaching zero.

        IS there a routing loop that Im unaware of?

        Pinging…

        15:39:00.409877 IP 192.168.XX.XX > XX.XX.XX.XX: ICMP echo request, id 46352, seq 172, length 64
15:39:01.410151 IP 192.168.XX.XX > XX.XX.XX.XX: ICMP echo request, id 46352, seq 173, length 64
15:39:02.467118 IP 192.168.XX.XX > XX.XX.XX.XX: ICMP echo request, id 46352, seq 174, length 64

        No answer at all!

        • And the same issue with forwarding google.

        Updated pfsense to 2.0.1 release
        Still same issue.

        It seems like the packets goes out from the openVPN server side WAN but does not get any answer.
        And the two pfsense routers seems to get different IP's from the DNS server for the same domain name.

        So I'm still not able to route the /24 net out on a different WAN through a openVPN tunnel.

        any suggestions would be awsome!
        Thanks!

          You definitely have a routing loop somewhere, not enough details there to tell you where.
