Adding NAT Rulesįor me, this had to be very fine grain as I only wanted download traffic on specific hosts to go out of the VPN and not all the traffic on the hosts, this was done using source and destination addresses and ports. I would highly recommend a reboot here as this was the only thing that made the next few steps work. Now, the issue I had here is that I was unable to get anything working and it was really getting on my tits, turns out pfSense was not configuring this gateway with a valid IP/correct routes straight off the bat, or even after FW state resets. At this point you are ready to create the firewall rules. The gateway settings and monitor IP will be given by your provider. You want to name the gateway anything you like, and set the interface to the interface we just created. Now we have an interface for our new VPN connection head over to System > Routing and again, click the ‘+’ to add an gateway and go ahead and edit that gateway. (Yours won’t have a name yet like in mine, this is next.)Ĭlick on the newly created interface and enable it, you can give it whatever name you want here. Head over to Interfaces > Assign, click on the ‘+’ icon and set the network port to your OpenVPN connection. Next we need to add an interface for the connection and then a gateway for that interface, this is simple. This means we are connected to the provider. Once this is done and completed going to Status > OpenVPN should list your connection and it should have the status “up”. The first time I did this I did not add this option and all my traffic started going over the pipe regardless of firewall rules, so ensure you add this option or you’ll end up with a mess. Checking “Don’t add/remove routes” should do the trick aswell but I added this in the advanced settings as well. The tunnel settings were also provided by my provider with one addition made my me, the “route-nopull” setting. My provider has ‘p2p optimized nodes’ so I setup my connection to one of those servers, the closest of which to me was the Netherlands. For me it was easy enough, all I had to do was add a CA with my providers certificate as follows:Īfter that, under VPN > OpenVPN > Client create a new connection with the provided details from your provider, here you can choose which server to connect to. I won’t cover the VPN setup in pfSense because the methods for this will vary across different providers but there should be a tutorial showing you how to do this.
