opps thanks I have no clue why it was not showing the rules i rebooted and now it is.

Thank you :)

@viragomann:

Your LAN and WAN are in same subnet. Are they connected to the same virtual network?
If not maybe the traffic is miss-routed as a result.

thanks for replying see attached.

Worked Thanks!

And where are you checking th server?  Why do you have user root in there??

Right I have found the issue. They are VMware installed and I didn't realise that promiscuous mode needed to be enable on the interface of the VMware side. You will also need forged transmits on.

No pushing of gateways is required, that gets handled automatically when the client connects to the OpenVPN server.

You can watch the process in action.
Go to the OpenVPN client icon, rgt-click->Edit Config then add the line "Verb 5" to the end of the config file and save it.
Reconnect the client to the OpenVPN server and "View Log" on the client after it connects.
You'll have a whole bunch of excess verbage, but near the end you'll see some lines like:

"C:\Windows\system32\route.exe ADD 192.168.x.x MASK 255.255.255.0 10.x.x.x"

These lines execute the Windows ROUTE command to tell your client how to send traffic to the OpenVPN server's network.

What subnets are you now using for:

pfSense LAN? OpenVPN tunnel? Remote PC's LAN?

These three items must all be unique networks as we said earlier.

@Derelict:

Your rule on OpenVPN was TCP only.  Ping is not TCP, it's ICMP.  Many protocols are not TCP.

Wow.  I must have looked at that rule and compared like 10 times and still missed that.  Yesterday was not my day.  I guess 12 hours of upgrading everything on my entire home network took a toll on me.

Thanks for that catch.

Thanks so much for the answer. Just what I needed!

This is my settings for «normal» openvpn client. LAN -> OpenVPN client -> OpenVPN gateway -> OpenVPN interface.

Make this a rule, but for OPT1. Maybe this will help you.

I made a virtual machine for the test (84,4 МБ).
Start VirtualBox. File -> Import -> pfSense.ova.
Start VM pfsense.
After start go to 192.168.1.10
Login admin
Pass pfsense
Menu VPN -> OpenVPN -> Client.
The settings in the screenshot.

An IPv4 protocol was selected, but the selected interface has no IPv4 address.

How fix this error?

disabling gateway monitoring fixed the problem. I guess cable is just variable and not clean.

Thank you dr41 and doktornotor forgot to do that. That at least resolves the error in the OpenVPN status window

However For some reason it still is an unidentified network with no internet or my "home" network access. I have a bridge in my pfsense config so I was wondering if the vpn server needs to be in the bridge as an enabled device.

No such thing there.

I have just used a road-warrior connection with SSL/TLS+User Auth to both a 2.1.5 and a 2.2.2 system. So it does work. I am using OpenVPN Manager on Windows 7 and config produced by the OpenVPN Client Export package. For me, it "just works".

TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

That message usually means the client is simply not reaching the server - FQDN used by the client does not resolve to the proper server IP, server is not listening on the port…
Post your server settings, what client you are using, how you installed on the client.

What interface are those rules on?  And can we see the full set of rules.  And screenshot of your firewall log vs that text would be much easier to read.

Hmm.  Works fine for me.  What are you exporting to?
