Title: Open VPN Gateway-Gateway HELP!!
Post by: tyfeatherston on Saturday 18 April 2009, 08:38:45 am
I am trying to setup a vpn connection between two endian gateways. Heres the setup.

I have one firewall acting as the vpn server etc.(IP: 10.1.10.1, 255.255.255.0)

Then I have another acting as the client, etc. (IP: 10.1.10.2, 255.255.255.0)

I am wanting to use a bridge connection. I am able get an established connection message just fine that was not the problem.
Right now I am unable to ping any gateway from either side. This sound like a firewall issue to me, but I cant find it.
Again, the vpn server connects just fine. I am just not able to contact any part of the network on either side.

Thanks in advance.
Tyler

Try putting the client into a different subnet eg 10.1.20.1

Documentation for this project is very poor. Which is just too bad because good documentation on opensource projects often makes or breaks them. With that said, the project seems like its on the verge of greatness but might not get there as the documentation seems to be its Achilles' Heel.

I searched for what seemed like forever to solve this problem as well. I found that you have to add VPN Firewall rules in on the [FIREWALL] -> [VPN TRAFFIC] tab.

Example:

ALL (OpenVPN user) <ANY> <ANY>

and then add rules for what you want to access on the [FIREWALL] -> [SYSTEM ACCESS] tab

Example for ping:

0.0.0.0/1 <ANY> ICMP/8 ICMP/30

Which means - Source address 0.0.0.0/1 or any in networking terms - Source interface ANY or allow anyone from anywhere to connect - Service Port "User Defined", protocol "ICMP" and manually type 8 [press enter to move to next line] type 30 - Policy ALLOW with IPS.

Hope that helps resolve the issue for you.

uhm, I think that same network (10.1.10.0/24) is a very bad idea

please post your gateway1 RED ip and GREEN ip and your gateway2 RED ip and GREEN ip
