      @johnpoz:

      Your running version 1.03 of pfsense? Or is that the version of the openvpn gui your running?

      What client are you on?  Windows 7 unless you run openvpn as admin it won't create the route.

      So I have been running pfsense since the 1.x version and development snapshots on 2 and 2.1 and have never had any issues with openvpn.

      What remote network are you on?  So you run 172.16 /??  /16?? on your pfsense lan?  That could easy be in conflict with what your remote network is.

      Please post your full server config, can be found in /var/etc/openvpn server.conf – there should be a .conf file there for your server settings.

      Also post your route table from your client once you connect and what if any firewall rules do you have in place on pfsense?  What is in your openvpn tab?  Where does your wifi box sit? how is it connected to pfsense - you sure your ping is just blocked on host firewall your trying to ping?

      Thanks Johnpoz for your answer.

      My version of pfsense is 2.0.1 and my remote network openvpn is 2.2.2. i'am administrator of my computer ( window 7 ).

      My pfsense lan is 172.16.0.0/21 and my network in the office is 192.168.0.0/24.

      In my firewalls logs i see my ping is ok but no responding.

      I can just access to my pfsense and i don't have internet.

      I will post full server config tomorow.

      Thanks for the help  :)

        ace where is your route table - this shows that addition failed

        edit:  ok you posted it before, notice there is no route to your 10.0.0.0/24 on there - see mine.

                well in your first post you had no route - so no your not going to be able to get to anything on the other side of the tunnel.

                In your second post you did, so that makes sense why its working now, and was not before.

                Why would you trace to my 192.168.1.100 address??? Did I really have to spell out to use an IP on your pfsense lan vs my example ;)

                  haha because i was on call at the time and not really paying attention to what i was doing, lol i'm sorry I feel like an idiot.

                  I'm guessing its because the client wasn't run as administrator, which is odd since I explicitly told it to the first time.

                  just for giggles ill prove myself now LOL

                      yeah windows 7 needs to run as admin to add the route, but it seems the new beta version of openvpn client has gotten around that?  You could try the new beta 2.3_beta1

                        My Lan Office network is 192.168.0.0 , My pfsense Lan is 172.16.0.0/21 and The tunnel network 10.0.8.0/24

                        So what can i do now ?
                        Thanks.

                          push "route 172.16.0.0 255.255.248.0"
                          route 172.16.0.0 255.255.248.0

                          Your server config has both route and push route with the same address. As I understand it, the server is on the pfSense that has LAN 172.16.0.0/21 - so the server should have only:

                          push "route 172.16.0.0 255.255.248.0"

                          Then it will tell ("push a route to") clients that connect saying that it is the way to reach 172.16.0.0/21

                          The extra:

                          route 172.16.0.0 255.255.248.0

                          will confuse the routing - this tells pfSense that 172.16.0.0/21 can be reached by sending packets out this OpenVPN server - which is not correct.

                              hello,
                              i try with server mode Peer to Peer in a other pfsense box.

                              With the same parameter i have internet but i can't ping the computer and AP on the Lan pfsense.

                              there's a problem when we use OpenVpn with multi wan,failover , and Captive Portal ?

                              i don't know where is blocking cause no rules blocked the traffic….

                                  local 192.168.1.1
                                  

                                  This looks wrong in your server config. It should be the WAN IP that the server is on. I am guessing that the server is not on a private address like 192.168.1.1
                                  I just noticed this issue on Redmine http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2582 and confirmed the problem. If you change your static IP on WAN, then pfSense does not update the OpenVPN conf files. If you go to each OpenVPN server and client and edit+save again, the conf files are generated again and have the new WAN IP in the "local n.n.n.n" line.

                                    Hi,

                                    Thanks Davis but i have the same result, i can reach my pfsense Lan.

                                    I try with an SDSL router with the Wan IP but exactly the same issues…..

                                    Here my server1.conf :
