Ubuntu 18 as a VPN Gateway
I have a pfSense OpenVPN server and a client Ubuntu 18 machine in AWS. I have the client auto connecting to the server on boot. I have all my routing rules setup to be able to connect to the VPN and connect to my AWS VPC. What I can't get is traffic to flow through the client. I have forwarding enabled:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
I can ping the VPN IP of the client and the other AWS VPC IP of the client. I cannot ping anything else on the AWS VPC. To ensure it isn't my routing, I pointed another test machine's gateway at the VPN gateway. Nothing. I also uninstalled iptables and ufw. What else could it be?
