      In firewall rules under LAN I have respectivelly rules that

      on the server all traffic should be passed from source 192.168.99.0/24

      and client from source 192.168.10.0/24 so firewall should not be the issue. Also the WAN port 64000 TCP/UDP is open on both client and server.

            Do you have static routes set on the client pfSense under System > Static Routes? If so, remove it.

            Your client pfSense box has a route for 192.168.10.0/24 on em0, not tun0 like it should be.

              ok I see…. so after changing Interface IP on the client from right one (10.0.8.0/24) to the wrong one (192.168.99.0/24)
              I can ping each other and on pfsence client:

              ping 192.168.10.1

                After you remove the static route from the system, you should just need to restart the OpenVPN process (edit/save the openvpn instance, don't need to change anything)

                And then it should put the right routes in.

                OpenVPN handles the routs itself, you don't need to add any static routes to the system.

                  wholly smoke !!!! it works !!!

                  In the future if I add any static route under SYSTEM>STATIC ROUTES on the client or server side is that going to affect tun0 again?

                  Thank You for your help.

                    Only if the routes you add overlap the networks you want to use the VPN.

                          Never ask to ask - just ask. If you think it would get buried in a thread, just start a new thread. It's a community, everyone can help. :-)

                            Simply just do not want to be like rest of ….. begging ..... asking .... pushy .... etc....

                            1. I have added to my scenario DD-WRT with OPenVpn and simply connected using SHARED KEY (easiest one) so now it looks like:

                            DDWRT ------ OpenVPN 10.0.7.0/30-----PFSENCE A 1.2.3-------OpenVpn 10.0.8.0/30-------PFSENCE B 1.2.3
                            192.168.1.1                                      192.168.99.1                                                  192.168.10.1

                            So clients behind DDWRT and PFSENCE A can ping each other and clients between PFSENCE A and PFSENCE B. What static route should I add (if any) and does it have to be under SYSTEM (STATIC ROUTES) in PFSENCE and respectively in DDWRT to be able ping clients behind DD_WRT and PFSENCE B?

                            Or just extra line with route "X.X.X.X MASK" to each Open VPN client like in DDWRT:

                            remote X.X.X.X
                            port
                            proto udp
                            dev tun
                            ifconfig 10.0.7.1 10.0.7.2
                            route 192.168.99.0 255.255.255.0
                            ROUTE 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 ???????????????
                            secret /tmp/static.key
                            ping 10

                            AND PFSENCE B:

                            daemon
                            keepalive 10 60
                            ping-timer-rem
                            persist-tun
                            persist-key
                            dev tun
                            proto udp
                            cipher BF-CBC
                            up /etc/rc.filter_configure
                            down /etc/rc.filter_configure
                            ifconfig 10.0.8.1 10.0.8.2
                            lport
                            push "dhcp-option DISABLE-NBT"
                            route 192.168.99.0 255.255.255.0
                            ROUTE 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0  ???????????????????????
                            secret /var/etc/openvpn_server0.secret
                            comp-lzo
                            persist-remote-ip
                            float
                            comp-lzo
                            cipher AES-128-CBC
                            verb 3
                            mute 10

                            2. I see that PFSENCE 1.2.3 does not have TLS_AUTH option in GUI so If I just add in server/client file config --- will it work? Or have to fallow this link http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2747.msg16214.html#msg16214 (does it applied to 1.2.3 ?)

                            I have added 2nd question and this is not a good sign ...... :)

                              On pfSense B, add "route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0;" to the custom options.
                              On DD-WRT, it needs "route 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0;" - That should be all you need.

                              As for TLS on 1.2.3, I'm not sure what all you need. I've never tried it (I only use 2.0 these days) - but if someone has a howto, it may work.

                                  have answer to my question regarding TLS-AUTH

                                  simply go to PACKAGE MANAGER and install OpenVPN-Enhancements (TLS-auth and client/server-options)

                                  unfortunately, it cannot be uninstall-ed later  so do not know if affects anything …..

                                  Cheers,

                                    regarding the static routing ….

                                    I can ping from XP client behind PFSENCE B DD_WRT and vice versa, but cannot ping any client behind ddwrt like XP .... (after turning off local firewall)

                                    XP1 ----DDWRT------PFSENCEA-------PFSENCEB------XP2 so XP1 cannot ping XP2 and vice versa.

                                    Could be missing gateway on DD-wrt? there is setup IP 192.168.1.1 mask: /24 but no default gateway .....
