Site-To-Site: Can't reach LAN behind client

Post by heikoh » Sat Feb 17, 2018 10:24 am

Hi everyone,

I want to connect 2 LANS with OpenVPN.
So far, I have successfully connected Site A (Server) with Site B (Client).
From the Client LAN, I can reach every LAN device on Server side.
However, I cannot reach any devices behind the Client. (I can only ping the Client IP from the Server console directly).
Update:
Executing

Code: Select all

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 192.168.179.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
on the Client enables me to ping all devices behind the Client from the Server.
But not from the devices behind the Server!

I also use this Server for road-warrior Access with other Clients that are allowed the Access server's LAN. This is already working.

Site A - Server:
IP: 192.168.178.0 / 255.255.255.0
OpenVPN-Server: 192.168.178.220
OpenVPN-IP: 10.08.0.1

Site B - Client:
IP: 192.168.179.0 / 255.255.255.0
OpenVPN-Server: 192.168.179.29
OpenVPN-IP: 10.08.0.10

Yes:

Code: Select all

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
is set on both server on client!

As stated, from any client-LAN device I can reach every device on server-LAN.
I can also ping every server-LAN device from any client-lan-device.
However, from the other side, I cannot ping client-LAN from any Server-LAN device.

For example, if I execute on my Win10-machine (same LAN as VPN-Server):

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.179.1

Ping is executed for 192.168.179.1 with 32 Bytes Daten:
Answer from 192.168.178.220: Destination port not reachable.
Answer from 192.168.178.220: Destination port not reachable.
Answer from 192.168.178.220: Destination port not reachable.
Answer from 192.168.178.220: Destination port not reachable.

Ping-Statistic for 192.168.179.1:
    Pakete: sent= 4, received = 4, lost = 0
    (0% Verlust),
192.168.178.220 = my OpenVPN-Server

To me it seems that my Raspberry OpenVPN-Server seems to block incoming traffic for the VPN with it's iptables maybe?
As you can see in the ping answer my Win10-machine knows from my Gateway that it should sent packets for 192.168.179.1 via 192.168.178.220.
I have a static route set for 192.168.179.0 on my gateway to 192.168.178.220.
However, 192.168.178.220 says destination port not reachable.
