preoblem configuring OpenVPN server on TrueNAS core

[drRodneyMcKay]

Hello to all,

I have managed to configure my openvpn server sccording to this video: 

 

However, i am facing some problems and i am asking for your help.

On my android phone, i can successfully browse the SMB share on the TrueNAS system. But that is all I can do. I cannot access the config webpage of the TrueNAS system, or acccess my plugins/jails or other smb shares on the network.

Please, give me some direction on where is the mistake.

Configs:

   my lan: 192.168.1.0

   OpenVPN IP pool: 10.20.0.0

   static route on Truenas (Network->Static Routes):

      Deestination: 10.20.0.0

      Gateway: 192.168.1.107

   Portforwarding on the router is also configured

   Tuneables are set.

 

Thank you for helping

I've tried exactly what you're doing (right down to following that exact video, I think), and for whatever reason, configuring the firewall rules (in TrueNAS) to allow VPN traffic out borks all the IP configs for jails/VMs (for me). I had an open thread here and on the TrueNAS forum and no one responded.

 

On my TODO list is to migrate TrueNAS to a Proxmox VM and run OpenVPN alongside it (instead of inside it) in a separate VM (probably Ubuntu Server); I'm hoping that will organize any routing issues. Haven't gotten around to it (because migrating my existing TrueNAS VMs sounds like a pain that I'll need a whole afternoon to accomplish).

 

The other alternative is to actually learn the natd firewall configurations to find the problem, but I think the issue is actually buried somewhere in the TrueNAS special-sauce internal VM network configuration and not user accessible.

I have recognised your username too!

 

Well, migrating my TrueNAS installation to a VM is not really an option for me (on my old computer, which runs the server, I only have 4 cores and 4 threads).

My thought exactly. I have run OpenVPN server earlier with not issues (before Trina's I was using Linux), but this is beyond me.

 

Why can I browse the SMB share of my TrueNAS box (Total commander connects with the IP of the TrueNAS box) yet cannot access the config page (the same IP that Total commander uses)
