    Hi All,

    I'm trying to setup a VPN server on my PFsense to be able to remotely access my local network. I have managed to setup a server & client which connects fine BUT only when the client is within the network it tries to connect to. I feel I'm quite close to getting it but there's something I'm missing.

    Some background info on my topology:

    Public IP -> ISP Router (192.168.1.111) -> PFSense @ WAN Interface (192.168.1.210) -> Lan (10.10.x.x subnet).

    I already created a NAT rule to push any traffic on port 1194 from the Public IP all the way to 192.168.1.210:1194 so in theory an external client searching for the server on the WAN interface should be able to find it.

    I have screenshots of my settings but apparently the dimensions are too big to post, what's the best way to share these?

    Thanks.

      Nevermind, it got resolved now.
