Selective devices and/or netfl!x/spot!fy/whatever via VPN - How to
-
These have been tested and working for me more than one time on pfSense 2.2, for my personal use. Mine is a single WAN & single LAN. Everything should be left to the default setting unless otherwise stated below. The second post details how to route selected sites via VPN.
1. Add remote server's certificate(s)
System: Cert Manager: CAs [+ [color=blue]New]
Descriptive name: "Mycert"
Certificate data: Copy & paste contents of ca.crt
Certificate Private Key(optional): Copy & paste contents of user.key
[[color=limegreen]Save]2. Create ovpn client **
VPN: OpenVPN: Client [+ [color=blue]New]
Protocol: UDP
Deivce mode: tun
Interface: WAN (Default)
Server host or address: xxxxx
Server port: xxxx
Infinitely resolve server [Check]
Description: "my_vpn"
User name/pass: xxxxx xxxxx
TLS Authentication: Enable authentication of TLS packets [Uncheck]
Peer Certificate Authority: "Mycert" *(From Step 1)
Encryption algorithm: BF-CBC (128-bit) ***
Compression: Enabled with Adaptive Compression
Disable IPv6 [Check]
Don't add/remove routes [Check]
Advanced:```
