Thanks for the video - one correction or error message you could add. Server Instance Protocol to be selected as "UDP (IPv4)" selecting on UDP pushes IPv6 which caused an error that there is no solution on the internet.
No mater what I do, client cannot see server. Always getting server poll timeout. Followed the guide perfectly. Started from scratch a second time. Tried different ports, tried different vpn server address's. Nothing. Used to be simple, but now this new instance setup seems convoluted. I may just resort to using remote desktop to a computer in my network.
@@sysadmin102 that's what I thought. Went over them so many times. The only thing I could think of that isn't mentioned in your video, is does having my outbound set to hybrid cause any issues?
Hi. First, thanks alot for the guide! It have safe me lot of time, and sorry for my bad english. I have try to follow the guide, but i have one question. How can i fix, so i can access my local network, when I'm connected to OpenVPN. Like my printer and opnsense, and nas server EDIT: I can fine connect to my OpenVPN server, but not access my LAN devices EDIT2 - Im a noob so please be kind :) Regards Thomas
It’s alright. I’m not a native English speaker myself. Just make sure that you included your local network, and local DNS Server (your OPNsense router IP if you use UnboundDNS as your local DNS) and you should be able to access your devices. Keep in mind that if you set static DNS servers on your devices, it will override the DNS pushed out by the VPN servers. Don’t forget the interface and firewall rules as VPN server will not able to know where to route the traffic
I need your help. I have Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and it has a VPN settings configured on it. This OpenVPN Its managed through pfsense. Split Tunnelling is enabled on the VPN server but it seems my local system is missing some configuration which is causing it to not work Now my query is that when I connect to this VPN I connect to my work network & I am able to work inside it, but this disconnects the internet connectivity that is working on my base machine (Ubuntu 18.04) I want the internet to be working on my base system & also I should be able to connect to my work network Can you please tell me what settings I need to do on my laptop VPN to make this work. Kindly help. There are these 2 entries in my vpn client configuration file which I think is related to the split tunnel, which should allow split tunnel to work on my client machine but it still does not work route-nopull route 255.255.255.255
I apologize for not seeing your comment earlier. It seems that it was filtered out by the RUclips comment filter. I have not used pfsense for a while, but on OPNSense, if you are not selecting "routing all traffic through the tunnel" and not set the DNS server to your local DNS server. Then you should be able to connect to the internet. 2 things could explain why you didn't get the internet connection. 1. is all traffic is forced to route through VPN tunnel, which would require NAT or Interface for VPN server on your local network. 2. you are pushing local DNS server to your remote machine without tunneling it (your remote machine received the local DNS server, but not your DNS server is not accessible due to split tunneling). Change DNS server to public one like quad9 or cloudflare DNS server.
Thanks! Super helpful tutorial!!
Excellent

Sounds like firewall rules issues. Check your rules

@@sysadmin102 Hi :) Thanks for the reply.. It works now :) I was my VPN -> Openvpn -> Instance
-> Server (IPv4) that was wrong :)
And again Thanks :)
