    can't reach my access points on my lan side using openVPN

    @biggsy said in can't reach my access points on my lan side using openVPN: It may be because the APs don't want to talk to anything outside their own network - e.g., traffic coming from the VPN tunnel. I've seen this a few times. This can be tested easily. tested. Change your WAN2 for a LAN2 interface. You'll be having a LAN with 192.168.1.1/24 - on this LAN you have your AP (right ?!). Make LAN2 (OPT1) like 192.168.2.1/24 - put a pass all firewall rule on it, activate a DHCP server on it, connect to it. Now, can you access your AP on LAN coming from your PC hooked on LAN2 ? You should be able to do so. (I do soo all the time, accessing devices on other LAN segments). If not => go check you AP.

    @rico I have tried setting up Open VPN for an Android client but I cannot get to work. The VPN connects OK but no data passes through. I cannot connect to any device via local IP from my Google Pixel. I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6YbCQEiC3c

    To remind DHCP that the computer is in LAN subnet, if in the first call of webservices of remote site fails i force the client machine to release and renew IP address by ipconfig / release/renew and this starts tunnel traffic again. Details are here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137237/pfsense-2-4-4-lan-interface-stops-routing-traffic-stops-working-after-some-minutes-sometimes-hours

    Install the Patch package. Read the Patch package manual (Netgate's pfSense doc). Or : as you already found out, it concerns only the edit of a file, a couple of lines. A good text editor like Ultraedit or Notepad++ and a tool like SmartFTP or FileZilla (both can handle SFTP access) and your do it as is done old fashioned way - ans still today : with your fingers. Btw : and keyboard.

    Thanks for the reply, would I need to disable the NAT on PFsense 2, since it will be creating the VPN tunnel through PFsense 1 WAN?

    Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com, so added another post for the same problem. Solved my problem; The computer i was testing to ping remote site was not seen as a member of local network because it had local static IP definition on network adapter, cleared it and the problem is resolved. But don't know why pfSense doesn't accept it as a member of local network even if its gateway was pfSense LAN gateway.

    Fairly confident it wasn't networking at all and is the Chrome CryptSvc issue. This comment with suggested fix appears to have fixed it for me. I know this has nothing at all to do with pfSense but figured I'd follow up just in case someone else was having similar problems and didn't know where to look. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=838707#c134
