    This is how you set up multiple VPNs.  Tell me if I need more details. Set up all your VPNs 2)  Choose one as default and restart them until your router uses that.  It may help if your defaults outbound NAT rules for default VPN are on top. 3)  Assign static DHCP leases for clients using t he other VPNS 4)  Add fire wall rules above the rule that gives you internet to your random DHCP leases that specifically ports that static DHCP lease through an alteernate VPN.  The rule looks something like this. Interface: LAN Source:  <static dhcp="" lease="" number="">(single host or alias) Destination: Any Gateway: <alternative vpn=""></alternative></static>

    openvpn route-nopull will avoid the openvpn-client to force its default route upon pfsense. then you can work with gateway(groups) to configure what client must go where. the downside is that you'd have to add the necessary routes for the tunnel yourself

    To specify which DNS server you want used.  Go to System -> General Setup.  Then add your the DNS server you want used. You may also find this useful://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/2114/ipv6-leak-dns-leak-e-mail-ip-leak/p1

    I spent awhile figure this about but eventually found someone that knew how to do it.  From what I understand, you already have the VPNs themself working so they only thing left for your to do is to have specific client going through specific VPNs.  To do this you need to have what you consider a default VPN providing internet to everything first.  I usually restart VPNs until this is working correctly and it seems to continue working but it may also happen to do with the fact my Outbound NAT has my default VPN rules above the other VPNs (i'm not exactly an expert on this). The next thing you need to do is to put a static address DHCP address on the clients you don't want to be using the default VPN.  This is done at status -> DHCP leases. Finally, you need to create a firewall rule that that forces those static address through those alternate VPNs and place them above your rule that normally allows clients to get internet.  If your static dhcp address for that client is 188.132.1.3 then the rule looks like: Interface: LAN Source: 188.132.1.3  (using single host or alias) Destination: any Gateway:<the name="" of="" your="" selected="" vpn=""></the>

    Connections coming IN to an OpenVPN endpoint are firewalled using rules on the OpenVPN interface. If you want the remote site to only have access to certain hosts:ports, create firewall aliases/pass rules with those hosts:ports as the destination. In this example, 172.29.64.0/24 is my local OpenVPN server that only I can connect into, so it's far more permissive.  Everything else is from work site-to-site.  The local_vpn_hosts alias includes local IPs for a copier/printer, IP phone, etc, that the work VPN needs to initiate connections to. Note that my connections to the remote site are governed by rules on the remote site's OpenVPN interface. ![Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 10.37.27 AM.png](/public/imported_attachments/1/Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 10.37.27 AM.png) ![Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 10.37.27 AM.png_thumb](/public/imported_attachments/1/Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 10.37.27 AM.png_thumb)

    I have found the problem. In the Firewall - OpenVPN tab  I had the same rule:  from any to any  2 times , because I use DUAL WAN setup. The first rule was the one with DUAL WAN  gateway  instead of default gateway.  See picture attached. Regards, Adrian ![pfsense openvpn firewall rules.PNG](/public/imported_attachments/1/pfsense openvpn firewall rules.PNG) ![pfsense openvpn firewall rules.PNG_thumb](/public/imported_attachments/1/pfsense openvpn firewall rules.PNG_thumb)

    I believe this is resolved now.  I spoke with Jim P. and it sounds like I can create a LAN firewall rule and specify the source IPs and destination port, and then pick the Gateway specifically, and the traffic should go around the primary OpenVPN tunnel between the sites.

    @jimp: The user's password is not stored in the clear on the firewall so what you're asking is not possible. Furthermore, storing user credentials is not recommended and not something we'll likely encourage. If you will store the user/pass you may as well not require it, leaving it only to have certificates for authentication (e.g. change mode from SSL/TLS + User Auth to only SSL/TLS) Good reply.  I didn't know I could just disable the password requirement and I appreciate that the passwords are not stored in plaintext on the firewall.  Thank you.

    Oh, wait, I just thought of something.. Just to check, when you are running your VPN client are you running it as Administrator? This kind of sounds like the actual routes are being set on the client pc. If you are running it as an admin, would you mind posting a traceroute output going from the client to a machine on the other side of your vpn?

    Make sure there's an any/any rule on your openvpn tab. Post your server1.conf.

    yes, but I found the solution. The Firewall Rules are descending. They were in the wrong order. I found out by deleting and creating them manually again. Then aftwerwards I found the arrow icon to move the rules, gave myself a big slap on the forehead ::) But thanks for the help though

    What are the firewall rules on site 2's openvpn interface?  Those determine what hosts at site2 are accessible via openvpn.

    …on BOTH sides of the tunnel added? I have TCP/UDP and ICMP allowed for the tunnel, dunno if that makes a difference. Show us your openVPN log for the connection and check in firewall logs on both sides that nothing is blocked.
