I have OpenVPN running on a pfsense server hosted in AWS. I am able to connect to the vpn successfully and the correct DNS servers are pushed down to my mac. This needs to be in place since private dns records need to be resolved over the vpn.

Everything was working fine up until a week ago when suddenly after a few minutes most of my traffic will suddenly stop working, especially any commands from terminal.

If I disconnect and reconnect it will work again, or if I go into my connection settings in System Preferences > Network and click on "Renew DHCP Lease" - then my connection starts working again without issue.

I've rebuilt the pfsense server from scratch, and the same error occurs.

It's possible that our desktop support team may have pushed settings to our macbooks which may have changed something.

I've checked VPN logs and nothing stands out, I've checked /etc/resolv.conf when the connection is broken and the result is still the vpn DNS servers as expected.

What could I possibly check or which logs would be helpful to review and post here?

  • It might be possible that your personal computer's OS identifies the VPN connection as possible malware and blocks it. You should check this. – paladin May 09 '22 at 13:53
