      @antibiotic Traffic from LAN should not arrive on the OpenVPN tunnel interface.
      See https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/openvpn/firewall-rules.html#allowing-traffic-over-openvpn-tunnels

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Which VPN client are you running? A client on pfSense itself or a device behind?

          What is the "VPN client interface"?

              What's the purpose of the client?

                  So I assume, you connect to a VPN provider.
                  There is no special VPN gateway for this if the provider normally pushes default route to you, which is default behavior. Anyway, if it's already configured, you can leave it.

                  But did you set the outbound NAT into the hybrid mode add a rule to the OpenVPN interface?

                    @viragomann Negative sir, any tutorial? I see in NAT hybrid mode but what kind of rule should add? Should I'm transfer to hybrid mode and save it?

                        @antibiotic said in VPN client:

                        Negative sir, any tutorial?

                        You should ask this you VPN provider. Normally he should provide set up tutorials for certain clients.

                        Yes, an outbound NAT is needed. If you want to get details here, please come with your related settings first.

                            This outbound NAT rule covers only access from pfSense itself. You need also one for your local network.

                            So copy it by clicking the button at the right and change the source in the new rule to your LAN network 192.168.10.0/24.

                                        Well, the VPN gateway is not the default gateway. I assume, the connection is established, so there must be something wrong in the VPN client settings.
                                        Can you post the "Tunnel Settings" section, please?

                                            Remove the check at "Don't pull routes". It prohibits that the client can set the default route to the VPN provider.
