        You dont use pushes if not in a PKI.

        To add new routes in a shared key setup you add the custom "route" line on the client:
        FOr the syntax of the route command refer to:
        http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/manuals/openvpn-20x-manpage.html

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Well it is not working for me :( i'm out if ideas…

          To add route i'm in OpenVPN server using:
          –route 80.240.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
          where 192.168.1.254 is lans gateway of OpenVPN server
          and cant trace any adress of 80.240.10.0/24 network

          Tracing route to cable-10-40.cgates.lt [80.240.10.40]
          over a maximum of 30 hops:
            1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  pfsense.local [192.168.55.254]
            2   105 ms   175 ms   151 ms  192.168.200.1
            3     *        *        *     Request timed out.
            4     *        *        *     Request timed out.
          it seep dont go out from tunnel…
          Any one hawe any ideas ???

          routing table:
          Destination        Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Netif Expire

            On the server side:
            You have to enable Advanced outbound NAT and create a rule that NAT's the office-side.

                I am trying to set a openvpn between my windows and work using pfsense. I am using PKI authentication. Have been struggling for days, googled but aparently google does not indexes the board well, so I came here to check if there is really nothing on the topic. Apparently there is a lot.
                Have I correctly understood that with PKI the push of the remote network is disabled/not executed???
                Please, confirm this.

                10x

                PS. Pfsense team! Great work!!!

                  Sorry was a typo.

                  You dont use pushes if not in a PKI.
                  You DO use pushes in a PKI.

                  What exactly doesnt work in your setup?
                  Did you read the HowTo's on http://openvpn.net

                    ;D Thanx, I almost wagged a war on the router! And in fact I managed to ping the VPN gateway from the Pfsense, so my remote machine did respond, but only from Pfsense, not from the local net. So no site2site real connection :(

                    This post is about my problem!
                    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,9884.0.html

                    So finnally..in conclusion!
                    To have a site2site between pfsense and Suse distro I need use:

                    • PKIs and push? not shared keys, right???
                    • and change my networks to RFC 1918 networks standard???

                    I shall forgot about my XP, although I am willing to try to configure it as a router :) …can I do that with cygwin ..sorry this is different topic

                      For a site-to-site i would not use a PKI and pushes.
                      A PKI is intended to be used with roadwarriors. (Or really many site-to-site connections, 10+)

                      In a shared key site-to-site setup you define what lies on the other side of the tunnel via the "route" command. In the gui this is the "remote subnet" field.

                      Search the forum on that. Read the stickies.
                      There is really a LOT of info around. Also it might not hurt if you read the howto's on http://openVPN.net
                      And the sample-configs openvpn.net provides.

                      And yes you should move your address space to RFC1918.

                        Thank you very much GruensFroeschli,

                        Now everything much more clear. The topology that has been setup is obviously the problem.

                        10x again.
