Routing OpenVPN Client through Sonicwall to Remote OpenVPN Server

Post by spower66 » Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:16 pm

I'm trying to setup a site-to-site using OpenVPN on pfSense 2.6.0

It works when the pfSense server is directly connected with external IP address, but, this cannot be the case until we get the VPN client rolled out to the remote users

So I have the following:
Main Site 1
- pfSense OpenVPN Server ( Peer to Peer Shared Key) on Public IP 12.12.12.12 on port 1195
- OpenVPN Server (Remote Access ( SSL/TLS + User Auth )) running on port 1194

Remote Site 2
- Sonicwall on Public IP 15.15.15.15 (running SSL VPN currently)
- pfSense OpenVPN Client to connect to Site 1 (12.12.12.12) on port 1195
- Sonicwall LAN Address 192.168.1.254
- pfSense LAN Address 192.168.1.253

Remote Users (Testing) - OpenVPN Client access to Site 1 (12.12.12.12) - OpenVPN Server Remote Access - works perfectly
Can browse, etc successfully when using .253 on Site 2 as my default gateway, so all of that works.

I'm not familiar with the Sonicwall, and henc my question:

What rules do I need on the Sonicwall to allow Site 2 connect to Site 1 over OpenVPN port 1195?

TIA

Hi,

Placed this in Off Topic.

This looks more like a routing question.
I would expect that to be on pfSense, support is here:
