Bridge Setup - Client cannot access LAN

Post by andys » Sun Sep 13, 2015 9:20 pm

Hi all,

I managed to install OpenVPN and got a Windows client to connect to it, but I am having a really tough time PINGING any other device on the internal LAN.

Here is my current set up:

Internal LAN: 10.70.0.0 (255.255.252.0)
10.70.0.1 = NetGear Gateway/Router SRX5308
10.70.0.2 - 10.70.0.254 = internal servers, 10.70.0.50 is the actual OpenVPN server
10.70.1.1 - 10.70.1.254 = internal workstations (DHCP controlled by NetGear)
10.70.2.1 - 10.70.2.254 = reserved for VPN clients

OpenVPN: /etc/network/interfaces

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
  address 10.70.0.50
  netmask 255.255.252.0
  gateway 10.70.0.1
  bridge_ports eth0 tap0
  bridge_fd 9      ## from the libvirt docs (forward delay time)
  bridge_hello 2   ## from the libvirt docs (hello time)
  bridge_maxage 12 ## from the libvirt docs (maximum message age)
  bridge_stp off   ## from the libvirt docs (spanning tree protocol)

iface eth0 inet manual
  up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
  up ip link set $IFACE up promisc on
  down ip link set $IFACE down promisc off
  down ifconfig $IFACE down

It's worth mentioning that the client connects ok and it can ping the VPN server, however it cannot ping anything else on the internal network:

I have tried everything I can think of on the server, even added a static route on the NetGear with no luck:

Can you please advise what I should do?

Many thanks!

Technically, your router 10.70.0.1 already has route for 10.70.0.0/22 so there is no need for a static route to the same network.

Please post details of these files:
up "/etc/openvpn/up.sh br0 tap0 1500"
down "/etc/openvpn/down.sh br0 tap0"
Please set --verb 4 in your server config and post the log.

You may find that you need to set --server-bridge like so:
server-bridge 10.70.0.1 255.255.252.0 10.70.2.1 10.70.2.254
Details found here: Ethernet Bridging

Make sure you have enabled ip_forwarding correctly on the VPN server.
