Private internet access/VPN connection? #15

So far, I have followed your guide to the letter, up to section 61. Everything seems to work as expected, EXCEPT that while I can connect to my PIA VPN, it seems to allow no traffic through? I am directly connected to the eth3 port, and have not yet configured wireless; Since I switch it on and off on my computer, I would rather not attempt to set it up for the entire router until I get more experienced with the jargon/understanding.

Have you encountered this at all in your testing? I followed the same DNS rules that you did, but from the log files for the VPN, it seems to attempt to set my local DNS d.add ServerAddresses * 209.222.18.222 209.222.18.218 set State:/Network/Service/523422D-D506-4238-A77A-F05F8A5E0271/DNS

The Ubiquiti forums are full of people trying to get PIA to work with their router, but none seem to address people who just want to allow the connection through.

I have no experience with and have not setup a VPN.

I suggest you create a Ubiquiti community account and ask them. If you ask the forum, they will probably want you to post your (slightly redacted) ER-X configuration file and/or network map. Note there are special ways to attach your config file.

If you post, you can reference this github repository as source or not. On that forum I am also "@mjp66". if you reference me in the post, then I can also follow along.

If you get it to work, you can repost the urls / details here, and I will add pointers from the guide to this issue.

Help this helps, -Mike

I struggled to get OpenVPN running on the EdgeRouter. I stopped trying and set up a Raspberry Pi instead.
