        Yes this is normal, DNS is not working at the moment.

          Hi @heuvep

          I finally received an answer by mail last friday (with
          however, after revisiting my pfSense configuration with following params (see below), OpenVpn Tunnel is up, but none traffic can be routed inside ... :-(
          of course, no modif in pfSense FW rules between old config (down) and new (up)

          client
          proto udp
          dev tun
          ca ca.crt
          dh dh2048.pem
          cert m_nge.crt
          key m_nge.key
          remote 151.80.148.150 1281
          cipher AES-128-CBC
          verb 2
          mute 20
          keepalive 3 10
          comp-lzo
          persist-key
          persist-tun
          float
          resolv-retry infinite
          nobind
          auth-nocache
          remote-cert-tls server

          Did I miss something ? Can you please confirm each field ?

          Regards !!

            What can not be routed where?

              no traffic inside VPN.S OpenVPN tunnel whereas flux should be OK (no change in menu Firewall / Rules / LAN )

              I think I missed something in my VPN.S client configuration (menu services / VPN / openvpn / client) ; I look for what, so my question ...

                Not helping to be honest, its more like you just had a stroke or something.. "whereas flux should be OK " ???

                I think I missed something in my VPN.S client configuration

                How would you have missed something.. If all you did was upgrade there wouldn't be any changes, etc..

                  I try to check each param

                  client
                  proto udp => field protocol
                  dev tun => field device mode
                  ca ca.crt => field ...
                  dh dh2048.pem => field ...
                  cert m_nge.crt => field ...
                  key m_nge.key => field client certificate
                  remote 151.80.148.150 1281 => fields server host + server port
                  cipher AES-128-CBC => field data encryption algorithms
                  verb 2 => field ...
                  mute 20 => field ...
                  keepalive 3 10 => field ...
                  comp-lzo => field ...
                  persist-key => field ...
                  persist-tun => field ...
                  float => field ...
                  resolv-retry infinite => field ...
                  nobind => field ...
                  auth-nocache => field ...
                  remote-cert-tls server => field ...

                  a screenshot or precisions would be appreciate to be sure ...

                    You said you connected, none of those settings would have anything to do with "routing" or not routing.. If you wan some clients to use your vpn connection, that would be setup via a policy route in your firewall rules.

                    If you want all of your traffic to go out this vpn that could also be set in your gateways and what is set as default..

                      Perhaps, but not sure ... I really appreciate to have a verif for each field ... only because I didn't change anything in my firewall rules ...
                      However, I never said I want some client to use my vpn connection
                      If you really want to help me, please check with me each field in the conf ...

                      If you want all of your traffic to go out this vpn that could also be set in your gateways and what is set as default..

                      That's no either the subject ... but thx !

                              compression param was misconfigured

                              which has nothing to do with "routing" which was your question.. Glad you got it sorted!

                                I found my issue : compression param was misconfigured ! :-)

                                I was able to find thanks to @johnpoz config share !

                                you're right ; however, if your compression param is not OK, there's no traffic in the OpenVPN tunnel ... and no byte sent / received in Status / openVPN menu ...
                                Symptoms are the same as routing issue ... which was my interrogation ...

                                Have a nice end of day !
