      Yes, I would remove the server and start over. New key, new certs etc.

      If you ran the OpenVPN wizard to create the RA server it would normally add a firewall rule to pass that traffic. That is shown on the Firewall > Rules > WAN tab screen.

      The client was seeing no response at all from the server so either the traffic was blocked and never reached the server or the server couldn't or wouldn't respond. The logs from the server end would show that.

          Take a screen shot of that tab on the firewall rule and upload it here.
          If you re-run the wizard though there it will offer to add the correct rules.

          Look in Status > System Logs > OpenVPN tab.
          That will show you logs for all the OpenVPN instances on the firewall but if you only have the one RA server then that's what you'll see. Look for entries showing the client trying to connect and if they are there look for errors showing why it refused the connection.

                Those are not the OpenVPN logs from the OpenVPN tab.

                If you're seeing that traffic blocked on your WAN then is the WAN interface in the 192.168.1.X subnet?

                If it is then it's behind another router and that will need to have port 1194 forwarded through it.

                In addition that would conflict with the default LAN subnet if you have one configured.

                  my pfSense computer is connected to my LAN at address 192.168.0.1 and connected to my WAN ADSL box at 192.168.1.30
                  this box is connected to internet at 82.xxx.xxx.xxx

                    Ok so do you have port 1194 forwarded through the ADSL router to pfSense?

                    Without that the ADSL router will just block all the traffic from your OpenVPN client.

                          Yes, your client is just showing the connection times out. It never sees and reply from the server.

                          Most likely that traffic is never reaching the server.
