[SOLVED] Site-to-site OpenVPN between pfSense and MikroTik

unguzov

I need some help with site-to-site OpenVPN configuration.

I use only pfSense for my site-to-site connections, but now I want to use on some remote sites MikroTik. I need to run OpenVPN (IPsec will be too hard to manage with different NAT issues on remote locations).

My network diagram:

192.168.151.0/24 -> 192.168.14.254 (pfSense 1.1.1.1) -> Internet <- (2.2.2.2 MikroTik) 192.168.14.254 <- 192.168.14.0/24

pfSense is OpenVPN server, Peer to Peer - (SSL/TLS), IPv4 Tunnel Network 10.30.30.0/29, IPv4 Local Network: 192.168.151.0/24, IPv4 Remote Network: 192.168.14.0/24.

From MikroTik side: PPP - OVPN Client, Mode: ip.

The tunnel is up, MikroTik is connected and from the terminal ping to 192.168.151.7 works. But ping from workstations behind the MikroTik does not work at all.

If I add to MikroTik NAT rule (srcnat, vpn-tunnel, masquerade) it works, but I want to use site-to-site connection.

I know that I miss something big, but I'm new to MikroTik and can't find any useful information about this.

It works now, here my mini howto:

My task: site-to-site between pfSense and MikroTik:

192.168.151.0/24 -> (pfSense 1.1.1.1) -> Internet <- (2.2.2.2 MikroTik) <- 192.168.14.0/24

pfSense:

1. System -> Cert Manager -> CAs
Create new CA (vpn-tunnel-ca). Export "CA cert" file (my-ca.crt).

2. System -> Cert Manager -> Certificates
Create two certificates (use CA created above) - one for the VPN Server (vpn-tunnel) and one for the MikroTik client (mik-vpn). Export cert and key files for client certificate (mik-vpn.crt and mik-vpn.key).

3. VPN -> OpenVPN -> Server
Create new VPN server:

Server Mode: Peer to Peer (SSL/TLS)
Protocol: TCP
Device Mode: tun
Interface: ITD
Local port: 24100
TLS Authentication: (clear checkbox, MikroTik doesn't support shared TLS key)
Peer Certificate Authority: vpn-tunnel-ca
Server Certificate: vpn-tunnel
Encryption algorithm: BF-CBC (128-bit)
Auth Digest Algorithm: SHA1 (160-bit)
IPv4 Tunnel Network: 10.30.30.0/29
IPv4 Local Network/s: 192.168.151.0/24
IPv4 Remote Network/s: 192.168.14.0/24
Compression: No Preference
Advanced: client-to-client

4. VPN -> OpenVPN -> Client Specific Overrides
Create new override:

Common name: mik-vpn
Advanced: iroute 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0

MikroTik:

1. Copy two certificate files and the key file to Files. Import all of them from System/Certificates.

2. PPP -> Interface - create new OVPN Client:
Name: ovpn-office
Connect To: 1.1.1.1
Port: 24100
Mode: ip
User: any
Certificate: mik-vpn.crt_0
Auth: sha 1
Cipher: blowfish 128
Add Default Route: (do not check this)

It works as expected - I can ping workstations from both sides of the tunnel.

agismaniax

great mini how-to… thanks...
do you know how to make this work for mikrotik with dial-out network?

UPDATE:
my ovpn setting is working fine.

unguzov

@agismaniax:

great mini how-to… thanks...
do you know how to make this work for mikrotik with dial-out network?

UPDATE:
my ovpn setting is working fine.

It works just fine with PPPoE for example, after PPPoE connection OVPN Client connects as usual. What problem do you have and what dial-out protocol you are using in MikroTik?

Summer

@unguzov:

Advanced: client-to-client

4. VPN -> OpenVPN -> Client Specific Overrides
Create new override:

Common name: mik-vpn
Advanced: iroute 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0

MikroTik:

Same setup, server and client are connected, but:

mikrotik clients can reach pfsense LAN clients, only if I enable NAT on Ovpn interface on mikrotik,
but with this the Pfsense LAN clients get traffic from tunnel IP 10.30.30.2 not from Remote LAN.

Please explain what you mean with the advanced client-to-client, I can't see any option, also in specific override I've added "push route 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0".

Please,help. Thanks, BR

Hi guys

I have read your potst, followed the instructions but still have trouble with set up openvpn in this configuration like 'kahardreams described'.

LAN computers behind openvpn server on pfsense can't ping mikrotik LAN computers (and mikrotik LAN interface address) , but in other way its working great (mikrotik LAN computer have access to LAN behind pfsense).
Situation is the same like on diagram provided by 'kahardreams '.

Maybe i forgot something on firewall/nat on mikrotik ?
When ping from pfsene to mikrotik lan ip, tcpdump on pfsense on ovpns1 interface shows echo request packages
but nothing shows on mikrotik ovpn-out1 interface.

Could you help me ?

Regards

marcelo.comtix

I had the same problem @kahardreams, the LAN behind pfsense could not communicate with the LAN behind the Mikrotik.

After some modifications, I was successful and it worked perfectly.
I was based on howto from @unguzov .
Follow the modifications:

PFSENSE:

System -> Cert Manager -> CAs
Create new CA (vpn-tunnel-ca). Export "CA cert" file (my-ca.crt).
System -> Cert Manager -> Certificates
Create two certificates (use CA created above) - one for the VPN Server (vpn-tunnel) and one for the MikroTik client (mik-vpn). Export cert and key files for client certificate (mik-vpn.crt and mik-vpn.key).
VPN -> OpenVPN -> Server
Create new VPN server:
Server Mode: Peer to Peer (SSL/TLS)

Device Mode: tun
Interface: WAN
Local port: 24100
TLS Authentication: (clear checkbox, MikroTik doesn't support shared TLS key)
Peer Certificate Authority: vpn-tunnel-ca
Server Certificate: vpn-tunnel
Encryption algorithm: AES-256-CBC (256 bit key, 128 bit block)
Auth Digest Algorithm: SHA1 (160-bit)
Hardware Crypto: No Hardware Crypto Aceleration
Certificate Depth: One (Client + Server)
IPv4 Tunnel Network: 10.0.9.0/30

IPv4 Remote Network/s: 192.168.2.0/24
Compression: No Preference
Topology: Subnet -- One IP address per client

MikroTik:
Copy two certificate files and the key file to Files. Import all of them from System/Certificates.

PPP -> Profiles - create new:
Name: ovpn-profile
Local address: 10.0.9.2
Remote address: 10.0.9.1
PPP -> Interface
create new OVPN Client:
Name: ovpn-office
Connect To: 1.1.1.1 (Your IP PFSense VPN Server)
Port: 24100
Mode: ip
User: any
Profile: ovpn-profile
Certificate: mik-vpn.crt_0
Auth: sha 1
Cipher: aes 256
Add Default Route: (do not check this)

In this way, worked perfectly, the two sites are communicating perfectly.

Thanks to @unguzov.

Hope this helps.

I can connect by VPN both sides, but I not have traffic between MT and pfSense, the tunnel is UP, but pfSense cant have ping to MTK IP and viceversa.

fabianoheringer

Same problem, i can ping from mikrotik to lan behind pfense, but from lan behind pfsense i cant ping on lan in mikrotik (I can ping in both tunnels, but not in LAN in mikrotik). Tried the marcelo.comtix suggestion, but didn´t worked.

norbi771

Same problem.
Main router is PFSense based.
I have 4 PFSense To PFSense Site 2 Site tunnels running fine (shared key based).
Then I am in the need to add next one, but this one has to be mikrotik based and it cannot be shared key based as I realized.

And when I added Mikrotik tunnel following this tutorial I randomly can ping network on the mikrotik lan side.
When I look into mikrotik torch I can see that source address is random and changes between reconnects.
I can ping network on the PFSense Side, though.

Also tried the marcelo.comtix suggestion, but didn´t worked.
I have no idea how to fix that.

marcelo.comtix

After several tests, I was able to tweak the SITE-TO-SITE VPN again. It has stopped working after updating mikrotik.
I will post here the settings that worked again.

@fabianoheringer , I posted the update of instructions.
The version of mikrotik firmware is the problem. For the newest version, the update instructions worked fine.

Boa noite marcelo!
Estou usando dois PfSense ambos com a versão 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3, configurados exatamente iguais (192.168.1.0/24 e 192.168.2.0/24) como OVPN server para um Mikrotik como client de ambos (192.168.0.0/24). A conexão entre o PfSense server (192.168.1.0/24) está perfeita com o MK, fiz conforme o processo mensionado acima. Porém a outra conexão eu consigo "pingar" o tunel nas duas pontas (10.10.10.6 e 10.10.10.5), e do Mikrotik consigo "pingar" o PfSense e as maquinas da rede (192.168.2.0/24), mas ao contrário não funciona e de nenhuma máquina consigo "pingar" de ambos os lados.
Consegue me ajudar?

Obrigado!

Mod Edit: If your going to post in an english section, you need to post in english.. I have done a google translate for you - I have no idea if correct... But please refrain from posting non english in the english boards. Thank you.

Good night Marcelo!
I am using two PfSense both with version 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3, configured exactly the same (192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24) as OVPN server for a Mikrotik as client of both (192.168.0.0/24). The connection between PfSense server (192.168.1.0/24) is perfect with MK, I made according to the process mentioned above. But the other connection I can "ping" the tunnel at both ends (10.10.10.6 and 10.10.10.5), and from Mikrotik I can "ping" PfSense and network machines (192.168.2.0/24), but on the contrary not works and no machine can "drip" on both sides.
Can you help me?

Thank you!

DavidBell

Thanks for the tutorial
I followed this and the VPN works. On the other hand, the tunnel does not route any traffic between the equipments. if I force a srcnat on an ip it works but temporally and not stable. Does one have a fire rule to add?
PFSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3
Mikrotik 6.45.6

Can you help me?

Thank you!

marcelo.comtix

@DavidBell , I have 2 mikrotik router working with the mentioned setup. It may be that in your case there is some other configuration in pfsense or mikrotik. It would be interesting to better understand its structure.

On the Mikrotik side it worked even not informing the IPS in openvpn profile.

I will post again with this setting.

If you can post how is your configuration, I help you.

Tks

marcelo.comtix

@Rodrigo-Lucio

Let me get this straight.
You have 2 PFSense - OVPN Server.

PFSense1 - 192.168.1.0/24
PFSense2 - 192.168.2.0/24

Mikrotik is a client of PFSense1 and PFSense2.

That is:
PFSense1 - 192.168.1.0/24 - OVPN Server
PFSense2 - 192.168.2.0/24 - OVPN Server
Mikrotik - 192.168.0.0/24
OVPN Client1 -> PFSense1
OVPN Client2 -> PFSense2

That's right?

If so, are you using different networks for your Tunnel Network?
Example:
PFSense1- 10.10.10.0/24
PFSense2 -10.20.20.0/24

In this case, the tunnel network must be different. Understanding is easier.

tks.

@marcelo-comtix said in [SOLVED] Site-to-site OpenVPN between pfSense and MikroTik:

Here are my settings that worked:

Thank you for some tips! My settings are almost the same. The only difference is that I use topology subnet on pfSense and default PPP profile on Mikrotik. As Mikrotik WIKI states that both 'use-compression' and 'use-encryption' do not work on OVPN tunnels and default PPP profile changes TCP MSS, you do not need separate profile for OVPN.

@marcelo-comtix
I follow your steps precisely, but i still having problem. It looks that connections is established, but mikrotik and pfsense can not ping each other, connections is reset every 60 seconds.

In pfsense dashboard I see that connection is up, but after 60 seconds it is reseted due in activity.
In mikrotik I see only rx packets. I see that routes are in place.

Also I was not able to made connection until I did not create own openvpn profile in mikrotik, where I assigned ip to local interface, otherwise connection was mikrotik with error "no ip address provided"
Any idea?

@rezance
A solução para o Mikrotik se comunicar ao Pfsense é fazer um masquerade. É a única coisa que falta da última configuração acima do @marcelo-comtix
Chain: src-nat
Out-Interface: ovpn-office
Action: masquerade

The solution for Mikrotik to communicate with Pfsense is to make a masquerade. It's the only thing missing from the last configuration above @ marcelo-comtix
Chain: src-nat
Out-Interface: ovpn-office

huutai1996

@andersonkiyoshi i followed the your solution. i ping from mikrotik to pfsense ok but ping from pfsense to mik not ok

@rezance what's your mikrotik version ?

Please, send your networks the both sides of tunnel.

This route has to be done correctly, you need to take the path to reach the destination.

@marcelo-comtix thanks bro, your configuration (march 7th) works for me

i use pfsense 2.4.4 p3 as server
and mikrotik RB750G3 (6.46.7) as client

cheers
