Allow the OpenVPN WAN to be used as a Site to Site VPN for connecting different routers together. In my use case I would like to create a site-to-site VPN from a pfsense router to a Peplink. I can get the tunnel established using the OpenVPN WAN but the far end site cannot transverse the Peplink’s firewall. I was told site to site is currently not supported and to open a feature request.
I attached the most basic network diagram to help with understanding. I can certainly make something not in paint if needed. This diagram shows what is currently happening with the OpenVPN WAN setup and a pfSense configured for OpenVPN Server Site2Site

I haven’t uses the openvpn wan license yet, but can you do port forwarding on it for what you want?
I think you need to enable IP Forwarding mode.

@richard.vit You are correct, that seems to have fixed the problem I was having. Thank you very much. Peplink support did tell me that Site-to-Site OpenVPN configs are not supported though. Seems to be working for me with IP Forwarding enabled.

I’m still having trouble with this and, for what it’s worth, want to vote for this feature to be implemented.
Use case: A custom version of OpenVPN is needed because of compliancy, and want to tunnel a site-to-site OpenVPN connection into Speedfusion.
. This is introduced since
8.3.0.

Oh wow, great!
I’ll get back on it to get it working then, thanks!
Eddy,
Just a quick question about a site-to-site OpenVPN setup. Should I use the OpenVPN option under the Advanced tab for that or the OpenVPN WAN (unlocked via a license file) for that?
-edit-
Let me try to make it more clear, am I correct in assuming that:
- OpenVPN WAN (Dashboard tab) = Road Warrior style setup
- OpenVPN (Advanced tab) = site-to-site
Thanks in advance
For site-to-site, 2. is what you should use.

Got it.
Couldn’t find this in the manuals or how to section.
Thanks for clearing this up!
