OpenVPN strange issues connecting to WebConfig
-
If I establish an openVPN connection from my laptop inside a network using the same 192.168.1.0/24 address space I can not access my PFSense WebConfig (192.168.1.1). However if I tether my laptop to my phone then establish a VPN connection I can access the WebConfig.
I'd really like to be able to WebConfig from my laptop no matter what wireless network I'm on.

thats why you should always change your subnetting to something different then 192.168.0.1/24 or 192.168..1.1/24
you could also nat you lan subnet from your vpn connection

As suggested the use of the 192.168.0 and .1 can be problematic because those are 2 of the most common networks used.. Vs dealing with the special natting - normally easier to just change to something else. I recently change to 192.168.9/24 which I have never seen anywhere on any wireless network I have been on.

Even better, I should get off the 192.168.1.0/24 space and both my issues are gone.
