      Hello, I'm using PfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE (amd64)
      WAN 192.168.1.xxx
      LAN 192.168.0.xxx
      --PFSENSE 192.168.0.1
      --PC1 192.168.0.10
      --PC2 192.168.0.41
      --PC3 192.168.0.42
      --PC4 192.168.0.43
      --IP Printer 192.168.0.70
      --IP Camera 192.168.0.220
      OVPN 10.0.8.xxx
      --PFSENSE 10.0.8.1
      When I access with my phone from outside via OVPN (my IP 10.0.8.2)
      I can ping:
      --PFSENSE 10.0.8.1
      --PFSENSE 192.168.0.1
      --IP Printer 192.168.0.70
      --IP Camera 192.168.0.220
      So my OVPN has access to my LAN
      But can't ping:
      --PC1 192.168.0.10
      --PC2 192.168.0.41
      --PC3 192.168.0.42
      --PC4 192.168.0.43
      PCx can ping me (beacause i'm using a phone) but when I access with a pc to the VPN they can't ping me.
      I can't understand what's happening..
      I search everywhere..
      I have no more clues..
      What can I try?

        Windows 10 does not anwser to Echo request (Ping) by default due to the Windows Firewall.
        You can temp. disable the Firewall in Windows for testing.

          But when I'm in LAN I can make ping to all PC and can access to "\192.168.0.43\d" for example.
          When I'm in OVPN can't make ping to any PC and can't access to "\10.0.8.4\d" for example.

            I think, it doesn't answer ping requests from other interface. I have the same problem in my network. I have 2 interfaces (192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.4.0/24) and openvpn. When I ping pcs from 4.0 to 2.0, it pings although there is a firewall, but when I do reverse from 2.0 to 4.0, no ping reply. I disable firewall, then it pings. It is the same for openvpn. I don't know why.

              2 days and I have the solution. The thing is.. Windows Firewall blocks all external interface connection. If you want to access you have to create windows firewall rule like "access from 10.0.8.0/24". OR add in advance options

              push "route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 vpn_gateway 999"
