    "After I finished the Wizard, my OpenVPN server had been assigned the user cert" Again dude the Wizard does NOT do that, can not do that!!  So if you did that that is on you not the wizard.. Not sure how that could ever happen other than just pure stupidity?? If english is not your native language ""Invalid purpose"" might be a bit confusing, but if you actually speak english how is that not clear??

    @johnpoz: "nslookup from the client says it's using 127.0.1.1 as server." Your clients said they were using loopback address as their dns?  Where they running any sort of dns server that forwarded.. That makes no sense at all.. This is from a linux client.  I have to specify nslookup someIP dnsIP and it works. My windows clients are now working correctly!

    Unfortunately LDAP schemas vary widely so it would be tough to pull something like that off. Not sure I like the idea of fetching a client's private keys via LDAP either, but as long as LDAP is using SSL itself it may not be too bad. The problem then becomes finding a way to query the LDAP server in such a way that it can get a list of all users with certs/keys available. Gets ugly fast…

    Why are you omitting that value when the documentation recommends it be set for increased security? The  optional  direction parameter enables the use of 4 distinct               keys (HMAC-send, cipher-encrypt, HMAC-receive,  cipher-decrypt),               so that each data flow direction has a different set of HMAC and               cipher keys.  This has a number of desirable security properties               including  eliminating  certain  kinds of DoS and message replay               attacks. When the direction parameter is omitted, 2 keys are  used  bidi-               rectionally,  one  for HMAC and the other for encryption/decryp-               tion. You're just hobbling the feature by omitting the direction. Seems it would be much simpler to add the direction on the server side like it wants.

    Not that I'm aware of. RADIUS or LDAP would work, if it's AD, LDAP should work out of the box, and RADIUS can be done via NPS if needed.

    The fields on that page must not be set to support international characters. Using them in a CN is probably not a good idea anyhow.

    Also adjust your Windows box's firewall to allow pings from outside their subnets.

    I thought it would let me go to the other page to change the DHCP range. Those two options should be on the same page! We were all new once, right?  ::) Fixed it. So now my network is 192.168.100.0/24. And everything works. I think.  :P Thanks everyone for the help so far.

    @itguy001010: If I dont redirect traffic then I can control it with which local networks to access but I want to used traffic redirect so as to get the same public IP address as the VPN server it is as soon as I give this ability that the VPN Client can access all networks. With "local networks" setting in OpenVPN setup you can just specify the routes which should be pushed to the clients. But this wouldn't deny access to your networks. You can add additional routes to the client so you can access other subnet if it is not inhibited by firewall rules on pfSense. So access permissions are controlled by firewall rules. I assume you will have an any to any allow rule at your OpenVPN interface. To prevent DMZ access edit this rule, check "not" at Destination area, change type to "DMZ net" and save it. This rule will permit access to anywhere, but not DMZ subnet.
