Adding 192.168.140.0/23 to the route tables in my VPC (although since it's NATing, I understand I should not need it).įor diagnostics, I enabled packet capture.

If I enable logs on my firewall rules, I can confirm that pfSense is letting the packets in.

I can't ssh to a server on the private network ( 192.168.17.30).

From said server ( 192.168.17.30), I can ssh to pfSense.

From a console in pfSense, I can ssh another server in my private network ( 192.168.17.30).

I can use pfSense as a DNS (not relevant now, but I want to use it later on).

On the EC2 instance, I stopped source destination check.

I ensured I have an outbound NAT rule on the LAN interface with 192.168.140.0/23 as source, and NAT set as either hybrid or manual (tried both). Then, we configured OpenVPN to listen on the WAN interface and with a tunnel network of 192.168.140.0/23 and IPv4 local networks of 192.168.17.0/24. Worth noting: we are not using pfSense as the NAT gateway for the private network, so the LAN interface in pfSense has a gateway configured at 192.168.17.1 (why so? because we only want to use pfSense as the VPN server, not as the NAT gateway at this point). I created an EC2 instance running in pfSense with two interfaces: Since we are familiar with pfSense, we are using a mix of AWS services but want to use pfSense as a the OpenVPC server.

Provide the full path to TLS key - parameter "tls-auth" (if your server use this feature).ĭon't forget to type in connection properties the password for private key, if you set it earlier.We are in the process of migrating our office servers to AWS to finally decommission. Now you can manually set all parameters for connection in OpenVPN plugin or import. Openssl pkcs12 -in user.p12 -out user.crt -clcerts Openssl pkcs12 -in user.p12 -out ca.crt -cacertsĮxport the users cert and private key (you may protect the private key here with password): key files into the permanent locationĮxport the CA certificate into the PEM file ca.crt

Sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn Install the OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager However the OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager requires the certificates in PEM format.

The pfSense provide *.key file for TLS authentication and PKCS #12 container with users' certificate and private key plus CA certificate. Anyway the trick with these tools is in the type of certificates. However I've decided not to use additional GUI tool, if the NetworkManager is in use already. Have figured out the same problem with GUI for OpenVPN client a few days ago.
