Hi All,
Could use some help here. I have installed the OpenVPN Access Server Appliance, so I can connect back home when I’m traveling. I have used it in the past connecting via an old OpenVPN client 1.8. I can even connect to the new setup using the old client. However if I try to use the newer client that is part of the Access server I am able to authenticate, but not able to get an IP address.
How I have it setup is:
Internet - - - > Firewall - - -> OpenVPN Access Server Appliance
The OpenVPN has a single nic located on the same subnet as the DHCP server. I currently have OpenVPN set in Bridge mode. With router mode I get in assigned an IP, but not able to access any of the servers on the internal LAN. Authentication, is via LDAP.
Below are the things I’ve tried so far with OpenVPN in Bridge mode.
> Set mode to Bridge – See DHCP request, but for some reason not making it back to the client.
> Set ip_forward = 1 in the sysctl.conf file
> Added “--route-delay 30 30” to provide enough time for DHCP handshake
> Added the following “push "route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 net_gateway"” to the Server Config Directives. Client could not connect after this was added, even tried running the client as Admin.
> Tried using client from OpenVPN website, but couldn’t find where the Access server stores the Client config file.
> Added the following to the server Config Directives “--server-bridge 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.250”. The client gets an IP address, but is not able to ping any of the servers on the internal LAN on the same subnet. This includes the Access server.
> As a last measure downloaded a new client for the Access server. New install reports “No VPN Server found”.
Any suggestions what I might be missing?
