      Dear Community,

      i have the following setup:

      1. openVPN Server running on latest pfSense.
      2. pfSense is connected through a static IPSec Tunnel to a ZyXEL

      The pfSense local network is 192.168.88.0/24
      The ZyXEL local network is 192.168.10.0/24

      Now when i connect via openVPN to pfSense, i want access the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet. I added already on pfSense (openVPN-Server) in the local networks 192.168.10.0/24 but its not working.
      must i also add a custom config to get this working?

      thank you so much!

      many greets markus

        You have also add the networks you want to connect to the IPSec configuration.

        Assuming you have a policy-based IPSec, add a phase 2 to pfSense with
        local network: OpenVPN tunnel network
        remote network: 192.168.10.0/24

        And as well you need to add a p2 on the Zyxel:
        local network: 192.168.10.0/24
        remote network: OpenVPN tunnel network

          Thank you so much.

          I think I'm already too used to the simplicity of openVPN.... thanks, I added the networks and it works.
