      Looking for a quick tutorial setting up open VPN via bridging and tunneling, this will include connectivity between VPN and LAN. This will be on PFsense 2.0.1 using the built in openvpn and the instructions need to be given using the web interface / gui. The client export installer must also work as part of the tutorial. I've currently gotten it setup and I have connectivity to the PFsense box but no connectivity to the LAN side, i've setup every NAT/Forward I can think of i've probably just missed checking one box.

        If anyone is able to do this i'd be willing to negotiate the bounty amount as I have had one taker who had no success getting it to work.

          You don't need to setup any NAT/Forwards for access to your lan from vpn connection.

          What bridging are wanting to do?

          I use openvpn on pfsense daily to access my home network from work.  Export tool works great.

          Instructions are pretty straight forward..  I recently got into a buddies box that was having issues as well and set it up without issues.  if you let me remote into your pfsense I can give it a shot.  If works you can donate the money to pfsense!  if doesn't work, we can troubleshoot until it does, etc.

              Also I had to reinstall my PFsense recently so it's a clean install not touched the VPN since the reinstall. So you can set it up however you'd like.

                I might have some time this afternoon - working on an issue with a F5 currently..  But if that doesn't take long then will be free, unless some other fire starts ;)

                      I replied - how about teamviewer.. Then you can watch everything and we can chat while doing it.
