        And what about forwarding the traffic to pfsense?

        "my modem local ip 192.168.1.10"

        If wan on pfsense is 192.168.1.0/24 pfsense is behind a NAT and you would have to forward the ports for openvpn to pfsense wan if you ever expect to connect to it.

            if you put it in the dmz no, so do a sniff on pfsense do you see the openvpn traffic reaching it?  Can you do a canyouseeme.org to your tcp your listening on for openvpn.  Seems odd to run 1194 on both tcp and udp.  Common practice if going to listen on tcp for openvpn is use say 443, which is almost always open everywhere there is internet access.  1194 tcp not so much.. And udp 1194 as well not so much.

            This really is clickity clickity in the wizard.. If your not seeing your connection attempts even would think you have something infront blocking.  Since your behind a nat to pfsense my guess would be that device.  Maybe your dmz is not working or not correct?

                Dude did you sniff to see if the traffic is getting there even?  Takes all of 2 seconds..

                What does error log show on the tab?

                I saw your PM, send me login info and will take a look see.

                  Your pfSense box WAN= 192.168.1.68  ?

                  Your pfSense box LAN= 192.168.10.1  ?

                  If so then get rid of the port forward rules you show above.

                  Get rid of WAN rules going to 192.168.1.68  the first rule to "WAN Address" already does it for you.

                  on OpenVPN firewall tab make rule destination to LAN Subnet.

                    Yeah those port forwards are pointless..  And could be breaking it..  Those sure were not put in by the wizard..  Like I said setting up openvpn is clickity clickity on the wizard and your up and running.

                        So you didn't open up remote for me.. So how would I get in??  I did a scan of that IP you sent me and comes back with no ports open..

                        If you want me to take a look you have to allow port your webgui is listening on? 80, 443?  Why don't you allow ping to we can test if your IP even answers ping..

                        I would guess your router in front of pfsense is not set to put your pfsense wan IP in dmz… Or that feature is not working.

                              dude your IP still does not ping, nor does it allow me login to the gui.

                              Thought you said you put pfsense in your dmz of your "modem"..

                                  Are you able to bridge your modem so that your pfSense box gets a public IP address?  Sure would make things easier on you.

                                      change you the number of concurrent connections.

                                      Are you using the same user/certs or do you have 3 different ones?

                                          whatever number you want is ok..  They could all be same cert/user if you wanted, etc.  That is up to you.
