      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.

              As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                  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….

                      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.

                      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                        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…..
