[HELP] Cannot Connect to OpenVPN

[vinjave]

Good afternoon guys! (GMT+8)  I need your help regarding my OpenVPN setup on Hyper-V.

I've managed to create an OpenVPN server but my client cannot connect to the server with the error below in OpenVPN GUI.

In this error, it says that my netmask is 255.255.255.255 but I put 10.10.10.0/24 in the Tunnel network.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Radius on Windows Server 2008 R2 with auth to AD. I've also tried local access but no luck.

I have 2 vswitches connected to external network, vSwitch1 for all VMs and vSwitch2 for OpenVPN. Basically, OpenVPN is both connected to this vSwitches. OpenVPN LAN on vSwitch1 and WAN is connected on vSwitch2.

I have v2.1 installed which I downloaded from https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,56565.msg364122.html#msg364122.

Also, I am having errors in my screen:

calcru: runtime went backwards from 63557 usec to 32502 usec for pid 0 (kernel)

Kindly help me. TIA

The client log messages just mean that it got no response - usually that means the connect packet from client was never received at the server. Make sure you test from a client that is out in the real internet, otherwise you have to mess with NAT reflection stuff to connect from inside your own network. Make sure you have a firewall rule on WAN that allows connection to the port you have chosen (20212) for the OpenVPN server.
You can also add a rule to allow ICMP on WAN, then ping the public IP from the client. Then at least you know that data can get across the internet from client to pfSense public IP. Then do packet capture on pfSense WAN port 20212 and see if anything arrives when the client is trying to connect.
OpenVPN divides the tunnel network into /30 pieces itself. So you will see the server looking like it is .1 and talking to .2, then you will see the first client get .6 and seem to be talking to .5 at the server end. That should all be OK - OpenVPN handles all that underneath.

Thanks for your reply phil.

I'm getting the same error messages using my mobile hotspot. And yes, I already created a WAN rule to allow traffic to port 20212.

I created a WAN rule to allow ICMP on pfSense server and starting to troubleshoot the issue. Can't ping the server from the internet though.

Will post back for updates.
