      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 .....
