      Can you try re-wording your question to make it clearer what you're asking please. It would help to know what version of pfSense you're talking about.

          I don't believe so, but it is simple to create another VPN just for those roadwarriors.

            I agree with Cry Havok.
            I have not figured out how to do so with PSK, I am working on moving to PKI and if I figure out a way I will let you know.

                That's just a routing issue - you have to ensure that all devices (or at least their default gateways, the routers) know how to reach all the IP ranges you're using.

                That's easier if your OpenVPN servers are also the default gateways for their networks. If they aren't then ensure that all the default gateways, on both the local and remote networks, know how to route to your Roadwarrior IP range. You'll also want to ensure that the Roadwarriors have the OpenVPN server pushed as their default gateway or have appropriate static routes pushed.

                For anything more precise you'll need to provide a diagram of your networks, how they are connected and what IP ranges you're using.

                      you will also want to remove your actual public IPs/FQDNs from your examples above.

                        On one pfSense box I have the following OpenVPN configurations:

                        As a server for Road Warriors
                        Dynamic IP: yes
                        Address pool: 10.99.254.0/24
                        Local network: 192.168.100.0/24
                        Client-to-client VPN: yes
                        Cryptography: BF-CBC (128-bit)
                        Authentication method: PKI
                        CA cert
                        Server cert
                        Server key
                        DH parameters
                        TLS
                        LZO compression: yes

                        As server for Site-To-Site OpenVPN
                        Address pool: 10.11.12.0/24
                        Remote network: 192.168.200.0/24
                        Cryptography: BF-CBC (128-bit)
                        Authentication method: Shared key
                        Shared key cert
                        LZO compression: yes

                        My routing issue is:
                        From Site 1 I can reach hosts on Site 2 and vice versa.
                        From Road Warrior I can reach hosts on Site 1.
                        I want to be able to reach hosts in Site 2 from Road Warrior.

                        Could you help me ?

                          It would be much, much, easier to help you if you'd provide the information we ask for.

                          I'm guessing that Site 2 doesn't know how to route to the Road Warrior LAN.

                              I'll say it slightly differently - have you configured the routers at Site 2 so that they know how to route to the Road Warrior subnet? They'll need a static route for 10.99.254.0/24 with a route through the Site 2 OpenVPN server's LAN IP.

                                I was told this arrangement isn't possible to have OpenVPN clients to one LAN have their traffic pass through another OpenVPN to another LAN… so I just setup more OpenVPN clients and servers.... it would be nice if each site could only need 1 OpenVPN...but I never got that working!

                                  That's not actually true.
                                  I have this exact setup working.

                                  It's really a matter of setting up static routes on every router involved, so every devices know where to send traffic to.

                                  We do what we must, because we can.

                                    It is perfectly possible - I've done it and I know some folks who have an intra-site VPN that they use daily without problems.

                                    As GruensFroeschli said, it's just a matter of getting the routes right.

                                      I don't follow. The site to site openvpn comes up and the routes are setup. I have a client-to-site VPN on the same pfsense and I ass the correct push route statement to the openvpn configuration.

                                      Client VPN traffic goes from openvpn to pfsense first hop, but then no further.

                                      How could I add a route for this?

                                        The other side of the site-to-site knows nothing about the roadwarrior subnet.
                                        –>you need a static route to make the roadwarriors known.
