Question OpenVPN / PFsense / Ubiquiti issue :)

[tstill.1988]

Hey Guys

I just this weekend installed two Ubiquiti nanoHD AP's, with the controller software running as a Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) VirtualMachine on my QNAP NAS. The controller is accessible internally on https://192.168.0.109:8443
I have OpenVPN configured on my PFSense router which gives me a client IP of 192.168.80.2 - From here everything looks OK, i can access the router when im on VPN from my phone, and i can reach other devices on the main 192.168.0.0/24 network, just not my Linux VM.

When im on my phone i get an IP 192.168.80.2 from OpenVPN (connecting using UDP 1194) and i can reach the router (obviously) but i can also reach a few other network devices via the web so i know i can talk to the 192.168.0.0/24 network.

I can ping the QNAP NAS which is running the Virtual Machine, just not the actual VM itself.

Where should i start looking for the problem? My gut feeling says if i can reach the QNAP and ping but not the VM then it has to be a setting on the NAS?

Do the VMs have their firewalls turned off? Are you using Ubuntu desktop or server?

Well this one isnt running on Virtualization Station, there is a QNAP app called Linux Station that i used. That really offers me naff all options but its connected through a virtual switch to my NAS lan interface. I have the option to do some routing on the NAS but i wondered if i need to do something on pfsense / openvpn. Port forwarding on the WAN interface wont help i guess since im connecting to PFsense VPN inteface (192.168.80.0/24)

Unless im just missing it i cant see where i can add routes to that network towards my LAN, that being said everything else is working so maybe its really an issue with the NAS

To make sure it isn't the router try to access over the VPN and from the router filter your firewall logs based on the IP address that you are trying to go to. If you don't find any entries then the firewall isn't the issue and most likely it is the NAS. At that point you would have to look into your NAS configurations and find the issue and solve it.
