After connecting to VPN evetything stops working. Internet, I can’t access nothing in VPN network, even Turris (not on public, not on 192.168.250.1, not on 10.111.111.1)

the task is get access from anywehere to RDP and other services in 192.168.250.x behind Turris via OpenVpn

any help is welcome

thanks, Zdeněk

I have a similar issue… does anyone have any ideas?

It doesn’t work for me for any combination of those settings in Foris, despite the fact that the OpenVPN client on Windows 10 manages to connect successfully.

My firewall setup is identical to the one of @zdenek.sofr.

Any help or guidance will be much appreciated.

Can you do things like ping the Turris from the client?
If you can, then the VPN is connected fine.
Can you ping the end point from the client?
If you can ping the Turris, but can’t ping the endpoint, then there’s probably a routing issue.

ping to 10.111.111.1, also 192.168.250.1 = request timeout, the same for whatever address in 192.168.250.x segment :frowning:

i’ve no idea, what’s wrong. I just

  • get turris working for LAN (wifi off) - worked fine
  • installed all updates - worked fine (about a month)
  • installed OpenVPN plugin - still worked fine about a week
  • Applied settings for OpenVPN (default) and created .conf
  • changed firewall settings, cause by default there was rule Lan=>WAN, VPN (but I would like to have VPN as a “part” of LAN, so I changed the rule to Lan, VPN => WAN - I hope, I get it right)

some more details fron Win client

  • OpenVPN - connected
  • Ipconfig says: 10.111.111.6/255.255.255.2, no default GW, no DNS, address of DHCP server 10.111.111.5

Access to my LAN (192.168.1.x) and also public internet - OK, Access to whatever IP in 10.111.111.x or 192.168.250.x doesn´t work

if I get it right, routes are added by OpenVPN Client:

That your ping to the PTP connection gateway (10.111.111.1) is timing out indicates there’s likely a firewall issue.

@jklaas - could be… but this is something out of my level… I´ve tried to turn off local (windows) firewall - didn´t help. Tried on another ISP (to be sure, it´s not problem on my LAN). I can access SSH remotely, but no idea, what to check
in Luci I can see “vpn_turris_rule”


(means “whatever host via UDP on WAN” to “whatever IP of router:1194 on this device”)

so I gues it should be working…

Did you try rebooting your Turris after enabling OpenVPN?
I had the same issue, and the problem was that the routing table lacked the routing information to the VPN. This was solved by a reboot.

@ricmik after restart i´m not able to connect at all :frowning:
Wed Jul 17 18:18:30 2019 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
Wed Jul 17 18:18:30 2019 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

but I´m able to login to turris and forris, so network is OK

Are you connecting to your router by IP or hostname?
Maybe the external IP has changed after the reboot and the DNS record is out of date, or the OpenVPN configuration is incorrect if you’re connecting by IP?

IP, which is static

i didn’t change the conf, that’s wha I’m confused …

Thanks

same problem here… :frowning: Was any one able to fix it somehow?
