      Hi Everyone,

      I am looking for a little help on my relatively simple pfSense OpenVPN setup. It is running 2.2.3-Release

      My pfsense has three nics each serving its own network

      bge0 serves 192.168.0.0/24 and is all static. This holds the "LAB" network.
      em0 serves the WAN interface (Set to DHCP)
      em1 servers 192.168.1.0/24. All addresses DHCP served. This holds the "Wireless" network.

      All the clients are setup fine, internet and inter network range is all good.

      I have setup the OpenVPN with 192.168.2.0/24 (for now). The VPN client connects fine and I get 192.168.2.6 typically as my network address. I can ping the 192.168.1.1 gateway no problem.

      What I can't do however is talk  (ping, load webpages etc) to the LAB or Wireless network from the VPN network.

      I am sure it is something quite simple but my network-fu is not strong enough to sort it. If anyone has any ideas or help it would be gratefully recieved.

        Did you pass the destination networks on the OpenVPN tab firewall rules?

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

          Well this shows home much of a newb I am. I had several duplicated rules for the VPN as I ran the VPN wizard several times.

          I can now ping 192.168.1.1. That is an inprovement. I still cannot for example load the webpage at 192.168.0.200. I know it works as I loaded it a few mins ago.

            You have both local networks listed in the OpenVPN Server instance?
