In the window displayed on the screen, enter your uoAccess credentials and click OK.Ī Microsoft Authenticator prompt will appear, enter your email address. Manually enter /students ( for graduate students) or /uottawa ( for employees ) as the server address. Launch the VPN client (Cisco An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client) by clicking on the An圜onnect icon from the Windows Taskbar or from the Windows Start Menu. Click Continue and then Exit once the installation is completed. When prompted to allow the installation, select Yes. Note that if you already have An圜onnect installed, you only have to change the current profile to /students ( for graduate students) or /uottawa ( for employees ). see below. Start Orb > Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Then go to Inbound Rules, and New Rule.Download the Windows VPN client using your uoAccess credentials (e.g., ). Choose Work.Īt this point, I was able to send traffic from my company LAN to the client (tested using netcat), however pings were still going unanswered. Once you've done that a dialogue box should pop up and ask you to classify the new network. This does assume that the client's OpenVPN gateway IP is not going to change between connections.

Where 1.2.3.4 needs to be the IP of your OpenVPN gateway (revealed in the Gateway column in the output of the earlier command) and 17 needs to be your TAP interface number. Identify the interface number for the TAP-Win32 Adapter. Each line begins with a number and on the right you'll see the name. (Start Orb > search for CMD > right-click it > run as administrator). Start a DOS/Cygwin terminal as administrator. In order to be able to change this, you need to add a default gateway for the adapter. The latter is the OpenVPN TAP device, and it had a park bench icon, meaning it was treated as public, untrusted. I had the wireless network and then an 'Unidentified Network'. In the 'Network and Sharing Center' you should see (at least) 2 'active networks'. Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex NN -NetworkCategory Private # find the interface index of the one you would like to change You can change an interface to private using the following two powershell commands: # this first one will let you see the available connections,

a host) instead of /24 (for the LAN).īy testing a Debian client, I was able to figure this one out, after this, it worked, but the Windows 7 client did not.

It was my fwbuilder config that was causing this route to be dropped: when setting up the eth1 adapter I had given a /32 netmask (i.e. I tried adding a route command into /etc/network/interfaces, but then I ended up with two duplicate, identical routes, so I took it out again. This was causing traffic from the OpenVPN network destined for the LAN to fail at the main gateway thus pings were being sent, but the reply was dropped.Įdit: Unfortunately I do not know what was causing this route to be dropped as you can see it was in the routing table above. This was causing all outbound LAN traffic to go through its main gateway, which will not route to the OpenVPN LAN (10.67.15.0/24).

Problem 1: routingįor some reason (and I'm not sure I've solved this), the server's routing table kept forgetting the route to/from its LAN (10.67.5.0/24). I've temporarily disabled the server's firewall, all chains' policies are ACCEPT and all forwarding flags are set: 1 : /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwardingġ : /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/forwardingġ : /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/forwardingġ : /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/forwardingġ : /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tun0/forwardingĬlient: ping 10.67.5.1 works, as do other resources.īy comparing two different clients I was able to identify and fix 2 problems. Server OpenVPN config (relevant bits) port 1194 Diagram Client OpenVPN assigned IP: 10.67.15.26 However, the server cannot ping the client - it just times out. Clients can connect, and clients can ping and access resources (Samba shares and intranet) on the server. I have OpenVPN set up on a Debian server.
