OpenVPN Configuration
-
Hi Gurus,
I have been trying to setup OpenVPN to connect 2 remote sites.
My primary side, or should i say the server side is using a fixed IP, while the client side is on dynamic IP. Upon checking online, OpenVPN should work fine as long as either 1 remote site is a fixed IP. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I have followed some guides online (such as https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Routing_internet_traffic_through_a_site-to-site_OpenVPN-connection_in_PfSense_2.1) on how to connect them, but to no avail.
This is what I am trying to achieve:
I have a LAN on each site, on the server side LAN for example my IP is 192.168.34.1, on the client side, i have a LAN of IP 192.168.50.1.
So my question is, what exactly do i have to configure in OpenVPN in order to allow both of the said LANs to connect to each other.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank You.

Does your boxes show connected to each other? /status_openvpn.php
Have you configured the OpenVPN firewall rules?
Can you show your OpenVPN server and client configuration here please? Cleanse them of anything you wouldn't want to share.

That's the first time Ive read that document I have to admit.
On the outbound NAT page notice that the address they show is the "Tunnel Network" and not one of your LAN addresses. It might be easier for them to show a totally differen't subnet as their tunnel network in that document to help people not jump to the wrong conclusion as I did when I first skimmed over that. But read slowly and you will catch it.
I use a majority of addresses in the 172.x.x.x range and all my tunnel networks are 10.10.1.x/30 I just use the next /30 as I add vpn's.
If you don't intend on routing all your internet traffic through one site or the other just skip the last instruction under Advanced Configuration.
