    In the advanced options box you need to have a ; between statements (newlines in the box aren't guaranteed to be preserved) so it should really be: push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"; push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"; push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0"; push "route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0"; or push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0" You also need route statements for the network so that the OS on the server side knows it reaches those networks via the VPN also So ultimately, you'd end up with: push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0";push "route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0";route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0;route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0;route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0; The pushes ensure that each of the remote sites receive routes to the other remote sites as well as your server. The plain route statements handle the routing for your server side to reach the remote sites.

    Check your console, see what is making the boot process stop before it gets to the point where it beeps.

    my primary has no issue only when restoring or setting up OpenVPN manually on my backup unit. Doing factory reset now and will connect the backup unit to the internet and try restoring again. Can only find this error in all the log file php: /vpn_openvpn_server.php: The command '/bin/rm /var/etc/openvpn/server1.*' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: /var/etc/openvpn/server1.sock: No such file or directory'

    There are alot of people who are pretty expert at site-to-site vpn with pfsense, but you will probably have to post your VPN setup page to get help.  So far I only know your firewall rules.  If its simple 1 WAN pfsense should not be difficult.

    I've checked this, and its OK. After some testing, this symptom appears even in 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. The OpenVPN client regularly tries to reach the server on the wrong interface, and this cause the error message to appear in log…. This is really strange. pfsense is configured with double WAN interface. Any idea ? Is this misconfiguration or bug ?

    Your OpenVPN server config does not mention what you put for "Local Network" and "Remote Network". On the server, you certainly need to specify "Local Network" - 10.20.0.0/24 - and that will be told to the clients.

    RESOLVED. Second network uses Captive portal. When I add VPN client address which I get from VPN server, to allowed IP's in captive portal, everything works perfectly. I didn't be redirected to captive portal page when I put AP address in browser.

    Presumably if you have the client still there to test that it still worked, you have the certificate there on the client PC. Just grab the cert from the OpenVPN config dir and import it back into the pfSense GUI.

    That is correct for an SSL-based tunnel with a tunnel network larger than /30. Here is a how-to for doing a multi-site OpenVPN + certificate setup where you have one server process and multiple clients: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/OpenVPN_Site-to-Site_PKI_%28SSL%29 Pay particular attention to the notes about client-specific overrides and iroutes.

    My guess is that you didn't install the openvpn client package in windows as admin. When you install the package, you have to right click, run as admin and accept all the following dialogue boxes. I also make a habit of right click and running the openvpn gui as admin even after install, but its not required. If you are not sure that you installed as admin, please uninstall openvpn completely and and then reinstall with the right - click run as admin. I also use TUN usually and not TAP so much.  If you have other VPN solutions installed along side openvpn, those can also cause issue. (windows firewall or any firewall can also break things - Might want to deactivate those during troubleshooting)

    Good news. It's working! It's just our one site that's not connecting properly, and of course that was the one I was using for testing. Great guides posted by everybody.
