      hello and thanks for reading this.
      I have a netgate sg-1110 to be the openvpn server and an pfsense in azure cloud.
      I cannot make a site-to-site.
      I want the netgate applicance to be the server and the pfsense in azure as the client side.
      I noticed that the azure instance has only one interface, a wan interface with the private ipaddress as assigned by azure and I think that might a problem.
      has anybody setup a openvpn as such?
      thanks much,
      david

            hi chris,
            I am new to linux and pfsense so I fumbled around but then I found the status->systems.logs and noticed this
            "Bad compression stub (swap) decompression header byte: 42 "
            so I changed the compression on the openvpn client to match the openvpn server and shazaam, it worked.

            now I have a new problem.
            from the server/negate.sg110 web interface I can ping virtual computers behind the azure.pfsense
            from the azure.pfsense.client web interface, I can ping physical computers behind my netgate sg1110.
            however,
            I cannot ping from a physical computer behind my netgate to a virtual computer behind the azure pfsense
            I cannot ping from a virtual computer behind azure pfsense to a physical computer behind my netgate.sg1110

            I thought that since I had added the correct "IPv4 Remote network" on the server and client, that I should be able to ping from computer to computer.

            do I need a add a manual route somehow and if so, how might I do that?
            or what do you suggest?

            thanks very much,
            david
