        for the tunnel..
        Something you are not using elsewhere on your router..

        if this is a point to point a /30 will work fine.. 10.50.100.0/30

        If it is for a road warrior setup then a bigger subnet as needed. 10.50.100.0/28

        the above are examples but you could use them.

        Local is your LAN (s) that you want to share with the opposite end.

        172.25.10.0/24,172.28.5.0/26 do it this way if you have multiple LAN's (your subnets of coarse..)

            this is just for regular home setup.

            I'd suggest to delete all OpenVPN settings and run the wizard. Go through it, it does all settings fine for this purpose and it's quite easy.

              @viragomann just did but how do I get my lan subnet for local network?

              on status/openvpn it shows that its running but still doesn't hide my ip? I would like it to run through my 3 ethernet ports?

                You are lacking an awful lot of information here for anyone to guess but Im going to take a swag and guess that you have a LAN on 192.168.1.0/24 (the default pfsense LAN address subnet)

                correct?

                  @chpalmer correct, though its 1.1

                  I think I just learnt how to set it up on pfsense

                        @chpalmer still having a hard time here. I've tried using 10.50.100.0/30 as tunnel and many other ip but with no success.
                        as I mentioned this is just for home network, streaming/gaming/browsing, so not exactly sure what im doing wrong.

                          You're pretty miserly with details. Still not clear to me, what you intend to achieve, what you configured already and what the actual problem is now.

                              No idea, what this should tell me.

                              Okay, very last try.
                              VPN server or client?
                              What is your recent setup?
                              Do you get a connection?
                              If so, do you get anywhere across the VPN?
                              What is the problem?

                                  It is. But it can be used in different ways.
                                  So without any information about what you intend, we can’t give support.

                                    @viragomann I intend to use it as a regular vpn thats installed on my router (netgate which is connected to my isp) to give my connected devices a different ip
                                    after exporting file, this is the error message that im getting
                                    TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
                                    TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
                                    im a newbie so im not familiar with any of this but thanks for the assist, if it gets too complicated I will just proceed to purchase express

                                      This error message indicates that the client does not get a response from the server. Most probably reason for this is that the server is not reachable.

                                      Does the pfSense have a real public WAN IP?
                                      Or maybe it is behind an ISP router or the ISP provides only a CG-NAT to you?

                                          I assume, you're able to determine this, but refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network, which describes what are non-public IPs.

                                          For investigation you can go to Diagnostic > Packet Capture on pfSense and sniff the traffic on WAN interface. Set the port filter to that one you use for OpenVPN (e.g. 1194), start the capture and try to connect from the internet.

                                          After stopping the capture, you should see packets, if they arrived at your WAN.

                                            What server are you trying to connect to?

                                            You do realize that this is not a VPN service such as being advertised out there to hide you on the internet.. correct? although there are services that allow you to use OpenVPN to connect to them..
