      It's hard to follow, what you've exactly set up.

      Do have one server and two clients or only one client or two servers with multiple clients??
      Open server client A.JPG shown a client connected to port 1194, obviously to a remote access server.
      Status Connected.JPG shows a site-to-site server listening on port 1195.
      :o

      Please tell what you've exactly configured in OpenVPN and post your settings.

            So the site A pfSense has only WAN interface and you try to access other devices on the WAN network?

            Please tell if you're running multiple vpn instances (client or server) on one site. That's essential.

                What is the IP address you are trying to connect from?

                What is the IP address you are trying to connect to?

                Please try not to use terms like "I cannot ping desktop servers" Nobody knows what that is.

                    No. The real, inside IP addresses of the hosts you are pinging from and to. Not the WAN addresses. Once the tunnel is up those don't matter any more.

                        I am asking for a specific IP address on each side and you still give ***.

                        What is the default gateway set on host 192.168.2.*** ???

                            No. The default gateways set on the two end hosts that are trying to communicate over the VPN.

                            Please provide their exact IP addresses and their set default gateways.

                                      No. The hosts you are pinging to/from on those networks.

                                          I'm sorry. You probably need to ask your question in the forum for your native language in your native language.
