Can connect pfsense LAN IP but not the whole intranet

[JMat]

Hi,

pfsense 2.2.4, WAN, LAN, OPT1 and OpenVPN setup.
The VPN connection works fine but I need to figured out one thing - if possible.

The LAN interface has assigned IP from the Windows server DHCP.
The previous purpose was setup pfsense as proxy and this works fine.
Now I want to add possibility to access intranet from home via OpenVPN.
From established VPN connection I'm able to access pfsnese WEB GUI by LAN assigned IP. I also can access any of OPT1 address (DHCP on pfsense).
Question - it's possible to access intranet from VPN connection? If so, how to do it?

Thank you for any advice.

Regards
JMat

That's what VPN is made for.

Your pfSense is not the default gateway at the host, you want to access, I think. So you may either do this by routing or by NAT and add a firewall rule to OpenVPN interface to allow traffic.
If you want do it by routes, you have to add a route for VPN tunnel subnet to each host you want access. If this are couple it will be easier by NAT. Disadvantage: At the hosts access is seen coming from pfSense interface address, but that doesn't matter if you are the only one VPN client.

For NAT go to Firewall > NAT > Outbound. If your outbound NAT does automatic rule generation, select Hybrid or manual and hit save at first.
Then add a new rule by +:
Interface: LAN
Protocol: any
Source: any
Destination: any
Translation: Interface address

Add additional rules for further interfaces like OPT1.
