      Still can't get the internet when connected to the VPN. Also noticed some strange behavior.  When I connect the VPN that has everything blocked but Plex I was initially able to connect to other servers on the network.  If I tried again they were blocked.  I dissconnected and connected again to capture the openVPN log. Clicking on Apple.com worked but then trying to click on something else on there site didn't work anymore.
      Here is the openvpn log. Not sure why I got a disconnect in the log as I was still connected.

        Any other ideas on how to get internet access when connected on the VPN?  Do you need any further information?

          You've set up an "IPv4 Local network" and then you've checked "Redirect gateway". Maybe this interferes.

          To remove the local network uncheck "Redirect gateway" to get the option displayed, then remove the entry and re-check redirect gateway again.

            Still can't access the internet when the VPN is turned on after following your instructions above.  Is there anything else I could show you to help diagnose the problem?

              Plex2 cannot access the internet since you've blocked it in the rules.

              To get internet access change your block rule so that only your internal networks are blocked.
              Best practice is to add an alias for all RFC 1918 networks (assume you use solely private networks) and use this in the rule.
              Firewall > Aliases > IP
              Name: RFC1918
              Type: networks
              Add:
              192.168.0.0/16
              172.16.0.0/12
              10.0.0.0/8

              Then edit your block rule on PLEX2 and enter the RFC1918 alias at destination. Also you should change the protocol to any. So only any access to private IPs will be blocked.

                I disable the block rule in my plex2 interface and reset the states. I still can't get to the internet with the VPN on.  If the block rule was the issue shouldn't it work with the rule disabled?

                  Yes, if you still get no access after disabling the block rule it couldn't be the cause.

                  Check the firewall logs for hints what's blocking the access.
                  In the log settings you can find the option "Where to show rule descriptions". Here you can set how the rule name is displayed to get an idea which rule is responsible for the log entry.
                  Also ensure that the "Log firewall default blocks" options are checked.
                  And in the firewall rules you should enable logging. Also consider floating rules.

                    I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I've added to the client.opvn "redirect-gateway def1".  In the status firewall logs when I try to access a web site it creates a default block on the WAN port.  I guessing this means there was no rule above it that allowed the traffic to pass thru the WAN.  My head is spinning.  Is it correct that any rules I create to pass this traffic should be the 172.16.2.0/24 Virtual address vs the Real Address listed on the openvpn status page?

                      Yes, that's it means. But the log entries which matter here are on the PLEX2 interface not on WAN.
                      You may use the filter option in the GUI to get less noise.

                      Yes, the source address is the clients tunnel IP.

                        I disabled all the block rules on the WAN, Plex2, and OpenVPN interfaces including Bogons and RFC 1918 networks but still can't access the internet with the VPN on.  Am I correct that it must not be a blocked problem. I'm missing a pass command for the traffic?

                          Are the routes on the client set correctly?
                          Please post the clients routing table.

                                  Don't know.

                                  Check if you're able to access a public hosts by its IP address. Maybe the iPhone just can't access the DNS while vpn is connected.

                                  On pfSense you can do packet capture (Diagnostic menu) while you're trying to access a internet IP to check if the traffic is routed over the vpn.
                                  To do so, select the PLEX2 interface, to avoid noise you can select a particular protocol and port. At host enter the destination IP and start the capture. Then try to access the destination IP with the iphon. Stop the capture to see the result.
                                  If you can see packets, select the WAN interface and repeat the capture.
                                  Post the results, please.

                                    https://81.171.110.67/ is the IP that is in the packet capture and I can't get to that site on my windows browser (nothing happens).  Googling apple.com IP gives https://81.171.110.52/
                                    which also doesn't connect but apple.com does. On iPhone I get forbidden error, you do not have permission to access this server

                                      https://81.171.110.67/ is the IP that is in the packet capture and I can't get to that site on my windows browser (nothing happens).  Googling apple.com IP gives https://81.171.110.52/
                                      which also doesn't connect but apple.com does. On iPhone I get forbidden error, you do not have permission to access this server

                                      ???

                                      Resolving apple.com gives me 17.142.160.59

                                      81.171.110.67 seems to be your own public IP. The WAN capture shows a connection to port 1194.
                                      You're running multiple vpn servers. So this might be a connection to another server.

                                      This capture is cannot help to resolve the issue in any way.

                                        I have a VPN client running to change my IP address.  Didn't recognize the IP address. If I turn off the VPN client I can access the internet while connected to the remote VPN server.  Is it possible to run the VPN Client and Remote VPN server and still access the internet?  Sorry for the confusion I didn't realize it was an issue.

                                          Yes, that's possible. But you've to clarify how the upstream traffic from PLEX2 should be routed out. To the VPN server or to the WAN gateway.
                                          Now, since you haven't specified a gateway in the firewall rule, the traffic is routed to the vpn server. But since you haven't set an outbound NAT rule for this, you get no connection.

                                            Thanks for hanging in there with me.
                                            I created a rule on the PLEX2 interface, source =any, dst =any, and Gateway = WAN_DHCP Gateway then
                                            Outbound rule- PLEX2 interface, protocol any, network 172.16.2.0/24, dst any, translation Interface Address.
                                            Rebooted and doesn't work.  Any idea on what I did incorrectly?
