      Hi to all,
      I need to update old pfsense 1.4.5 to 1.6.0.. I instalted a new server and, using the old config.xlm file, I started up the new server. Everything seemed to work fine until i tested the openvpn service. External users can connect to the firewall, surf the internet via VPN, are able to route to other geographical networks throght another VPN (IPSEC) connections, but doesn't work with the local (internal) network ( doesn't work even the ICMP ). I didn't made changes to the firewalling rules or configuration, the local network interfaces work correctly. I think it's a MAC problem of the virtual interface assigned to OPENVPN. Can you help me?

        None of them ever existed. You probably mean 2.4.5 to 2.6.0.

        but doesn't work with the local (internal) network ( doesn't work even the ICMP ).

        Are you sure, you local device does respond to outside access?
        Try to ping the pfSense LAN IP.

        I think it's a MAC problem of the virtual interface assigned to OPENVPN.

        Why do you think this?
        Is the OpenVPN server in tun mode? A tun interface has no MAC as far as I know.

          Yes, of course!

          The local addresse connot connect to OVPN address (on TAP interface) and vice versa, but all the rest works fine

          I think it's a MAC problem of the virtual interface assigned to OPENVPN.

          Becouse, it would be the only difference between the two server

          I use, at the moment, a Tap mode. After the new server will start i'll change in tun mode the OpenVPN

          Thank You, very much
