OpenVPN error

scolland

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to pfSense, but enjoying setting it up.

I'm trying to get OpenVPN running using RADIUS from our DC (Windows Server 2008). I have followed a set by step guide from: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/OpenVPN_with_RADIUS_via_Active_Directory

I am setting it up on my iPhone initially as I am within the network on everything else in order to config.

I am using pfSense 2.1.2.

When I try to connect, the log says:
Transport Error: DNS resolve error on 'pfsense.mydomain' for UDP session: Host not found (authoritative)

I appreciate I'm not giving much information here, but I don't know what information is required, is anyone able to assist please?

Thanks

Use the IP address instead of the hostname for remote host in the client config or add the hostname to your DNS.

Thanks, I have it connected via the IP address, but I can't access anything on the LAN.

I have the tunnel network set to: 192.168.2.0/24
The LAN is: 192.168.0.0/24
And I have set local networks to: 192.168.0.0/24

Any suggestions please?

Have you set up an appropriate rule to allow access?
Firewall > Rules > OpenVPN tab

If you have you should find out if it's a routing issue or if access is blocked due to missing firewall permissions.

Thanks! - Don't know how I missed that.
