Thank you very much, James! I only now turned on email notifications. Before, I had not seen that you had responded.

OpenVPN supports "client side NAT" remapping, however this is only for TUN/routed networks, it won't work for TAP/bridged: https://www.sparklabs.com/support/kb/article/advanced-configuration-commands/#client-nat Thanks very much, James! I tried client-nat snat 192.168.101.0/255.255.255.0 and got ...

My router, a pfSense system, runs a tap OpenVPN server. The OpenVPN server is at 192.168.1.1. Once I am connected to it via Viscosity, I can contact the pfSense system at 192.168.1.1. I am currently connected to a different Wi-Fi system, which itself has is a 192.168.1.0/24 network. I cannot connect ...

Is there a way for Viscosity to automatically establish a connection, when my Mac starts a Time Machine backup? I have a sufficiently fast inbound connection to my home network that it would be feasible to do Time Machine backups, when away from home. Is there a way for this to trigger the ...

Just tried it with one client connecting to my home LAN through my neighbor’s WiFi network and this laptop connecting to it through a public xfinitywifi hotspot.

Same issue. I wonder, what the interaction between two clients is.

I have set up an OpenVPN server on my pfSense box at home. It works just fine, and when connecting using tap, it’s almost an identical experience to being at home. However, when I connect two clients (Mac) to the VPN, the cycle through making the connection, cutting it, and establishing it. I have o ...

Update: When I connect my laptop through my phone the Viscosity log shows a few more lines: 2020-10-30 18:55:49: TCP connection established with [AF_INET]xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 2020-10-30 18:55:49: TCPv4_CLIENT link local: (not bound) 2020-10-30 18:55:49: TCPv4_CLIENT link remote: [AF_INET]xxx.xxx.xxx ...

A while back I followed the instructions for how to set up an OpenVPN server on pfSense . I got it to work beautifully. A few months later it no longer works. The OpenVPN log file on my pfSense box reveals nothing. Neither do the logs in Viscosity Details. For troubleshooting I hop on my neighbor’s n ...

Problem solved. Now it is past midnight in Germany, and my dad gets 13.3 Mbit/s ⇩ and still only 1.82 Kbit/s ⇧. Not great, but sufficient for the VPN connection.

I did a screenshot video of what is happening with one of my connections. You can watch it here (can’t attach video files here): https://youtu.be/drmWOqObqjM What is that could be going on? It’s my dad’s computer in Germany (my OpenVPN server is in the U.S.), and he has only 2.81 Mbit/s down and 1.96 ...
