Connect Mac Client to subnet behind pfSense OpenVPN server
-
I am struggling with a different OpenVPN setup than I am normally used to. I have a Mac client using Tunnelblick connecting to the OpenVPN server on my pfSense box (my network gateway and router). The Mac connects to the VPN fine, but I am still trying to figure out how to connect to a Win10 box on the network behind the pfSense box. I have done this numerous times on my OpenVPN server at work, but it is on a separate Linux server that is not on the gateway. And my work clients are all Windows boxes. I don't regularly use Macs, so working on one is relatively foreign to me. I have no idea where the Mac stored the config file. Also I am not that familiar yet with where pfSense stores the OpenVPN config file, since I set it up through the GUI. So I don't have the server and client configs handy to post, or review. I am assuming that I need to add a push route to the client config, or an iroute to the server config, but am not sure. Can someone give me some basics on where I should be looking, and what config parameter I need to read the man page on. Thanks.

Put the local network in Local Networks. That will add the appropriate push route configuration.
If you still cannot connect to a host on that local network I would check the "software" firewall on the target host.

Ok, I am lost on your first sentence. Is "Local Networks" something on the Mac or the pfSense config? I looked around a bit on the Mac, but like I said the Mac is very foreign to me. I was able to finally get the client config from the Mac. The only line I sanitized below is the remote line. I will check the check the firewall on the Win10 box tonight. Thanks.

In the OpenVPN Server configuration on pfSense.
A push route configuration on a client makes little sense.
