Routing Setup
-
My default router is not the pfsense box Im guessing this might be part of the issue as well
It could be, so you would need to add the route to the remote subnet in your default router to the pfsense box.
-
Could I make the default router the pfsense box for those 10.87.3/100 lans?
-
If the traffic doesn't have to go in another direction, yes.
-
I was just playing around and turned off the firewall completely once I did that I was able to ping the opposite ends of the tunnel from both sides from the webgui. I wasn't able to reach the local subs on either end. So this just has to be a routing/rules issue
-
So far that is what it sounds like … but the rule you have is not correct either .. WAN net is only the subnet that you WAN is on and not the internet.
-
also … maybe ... perhaps ... do not use port 443, possibly the pfsense webgui httpd is allready bound to it.
-
I restarted and am now able to ping across to the other sides vpn tunnel and front end of the other lan from the webgui but am unable to ping from a station on those lan's.
-
Did you change the OpenVPN firewall allow rule on both sides? Try a reboot on both sides after that. Also check your routing on the remote site to make sure that is not an issue.
-
I'm rebooting on both ends now here are my current rules on both the server and client
-
Your LAN rule is incorrect. Again WAN address or WAN subnet is not the internet nor either side of the tunnel. Change the source to be any to any on any port to start with. After you have made sure that the connection is working and the routing is correct, then you can limit your rules if you like. Just make sure that you are wary of what you are blocking and please make use of aliases to help you create rules.

Thanks by altering that rule I am now able to ping everything and anything on the lan side.
