Ok i did reflash it. But it didn't change anything except there are no rules for tun0 anymore in pf.

please show me "netstat -r" on a roadwarrior and a LAN server.
did you change the gateway of your LAN servers so that they use
pfsense? -

…but i am able to ping hosts inside the lan.
hmm… just that i get you right, you are able to ping the LAN servers
inside your "office" after you connected the tunnel? If thats the case
everything worked as supposed, there's no ovpn problem then i suppose.i cannot reach any host in the wlan subnet nor any that is behind the wan interface
What do you mean, are there any servers behind your pfsense WAN that
you want to be able to reach as road warrior? Can you ping these hosts from
you LAN?Please show your network setup from LAN to ISP and where these servers
are you want to reach if not inside your office LAN, at the moment i am unsure
what exactly your problem is. -
ok i will try to clarify the situation. sorry if that was a bit messed up.
LAN ------------- WAN ------------------- | pfsense box | ---------------------- _____________ | | | | WLAN | | (OpenVPN Tunnel) | | | | WLAN Clienti want to secure my wlan not only by using wpa/wep, instead i want to use openvpn. the vpn tunnel should be established between the wlan client and the pfsense box. i assign addresses via dhcp on the lan and wlan interface. now the problem is that i want that all the traffic should go through the tunnel. if i establish the tunnel i can ping both endpoints and the lan address of the pf box and a host inside the lan. but i cannot reach the interface address of the wlan interface, and as a result of this i cannot resolve names for example. also i cannot ping hosts in the internet.
-
hmm… i have no experience with wireless access points, but i think what you
are trying to do will not work with ovpn. You want to connect to pfsense
over your wireless connection and using ovpn, so you will be given
access to your LAN. If you want to reach the internet now, i think the
only way will be to "remote desktop" or ssh to an internal box in your
LAN and connect from there on.But i am not sure with that, i have no wlan to test this, maybe someone
else can. -
If I'm understanding what you want….
On your WLAN... only create a rule to allow the OVPN connection.
Then you'll push DNS,WINS, and GATEWAY via OVPN
also add a push route to your LAN, if you want a connection there.
