Well, it seems I figured it out : the config file had the dev tun dev-type tun commands that were causing the problem. I deleted them and the problem is solved. I used to think it was good practice to dump whatever is written in the ovpn file downloaded from the server, but it seems not.

@racefun Not routes. RULES. Do you have any floating rules by any chance?

Except that we've seen in the other thread that doing so is triggering, at least, dpinger to restart. So it could be doing more than you think.

It is 2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64)

@viragomann Ok, thanks for your precious help, and in any case sorry for my approx english ;P Ciao (form Italy)

@viragomann I was saying that if I want to use the main site like a VPN to access the internet, just like a commercial VPN provider, I would have a rule on the remote site that says LAN to any using VPN as gateway. This rule will be placed in NAT -> outbound. What I found with doing this with the VPN made from the main site is that it messed up the site to site VPN for the remote side. Somehow that outbound rule messes up the working remote site to main site connection.

@mecjay12 Thanks for getting back to me.

@viragomann said in Access from Client through HQ to Branch-Sites: 10.254.250.0/24 Thanks a lot. That was the problem :-) Have a great day. S

Thanks :) https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/bc414485730d0d25c70d8c30a06732743d0efa59

@kermiaamar There is some issue with Hyper-V and would encourage you to search the forum for the solution or switch to VirtualBox.

@viragomann it's ok problem solved i can ping Local machine on LAN network after configuring check box redirect gratway

@viragomann said in OpenVPN puts down Internet traffic: @jt40 said in OpenVPN puts down Internet traffic: As you mentioned above, you want the clients in the concerned subnet to the VPN providers DNS server. So is this still correct or not? If yes, port forwarding is the best way to get it. Thanks a lot for your help, I just need to get my head around it, stuff for the next maintenance :D
