      Are there pass rules on the OpenVPN tab that also match the traffic?  If so, I believe that will match first and break reply to.  I usually delete all the rules on the OpenVPN tab when I use assigned interfaces.

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          I'd ditch that rule and put it on the assigned interface's firewall rule tab instead.

              This stuff works, man.  pfSense is only doing what you're telling it to do.

              Use the diagram in my sig to detail exactly what you're doing and I'll build it tonight.  Please be specific.

                  You can't NAT on the openvpn tab.  It has to be an assigned interface. I don't see ovpnc2 in that firewall output at all.

                        WAN interface default gateway

                        WAN2 interface, in use if first fails

                        openvpn client1

                        nothing forwarded here works, the reply is send back over default gw

                        same as above

                        DMZ

                        NAT

                        This is the setup I like to have working and that was working with pfsense 2 but does not work with 2.2

                              Get rid of that.  In order to have things like Reply-To working, the OpenVPN tab cannot match the traffic.  I would just not put any rules on OpenVPN tab.  Put them on the appropriate assigned interface instead.

                                  So, what's this?

                                  nat on $VPN  from 10.0.80.0/24 to any port 500 -> 10.103.1.6/32  static-port

                                  Your IPsec overlaps with OpenVPN. This will never work.

                                    Thank you, I dont know how I missed that all the when ever I checked, that rule should of cause have a limited source address range, adding that it works perfect

                                    , thank you again
