      Can you ping your host (what host ? where ?) from pfSense, using the console menu ?

      Can you open the pfSense GUI using its URL or http://192.168.1.1 ?

      ipconfig /all

      On your connected PC says what ?

      OpenVPN client log ?
      Open VPN server log ?

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Can you open the pfSense GUI using its URL or http://192.168.1.1 ?

        You mean if I can open it form the windows client when I connect to the VPN. No, I can't. The Ip is 172.16.1.1. I can Ping it but can't access http. In the local 172.16.1.x I can access http, this the way that i configure the pfsense.

        ipconfig /all

                Question :

                @hunteralberto said in Can't reach Lan host in OpenVPN tab mode:

                Description . . . . . . . . . . . : TAP-Windows Adapter V9
                .....
                DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.1.0

                A DHCP server living on an IP ending with 0 ?? That's new for me.

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  Yes, this is so weird for me too.

                  I set the DHCP setting in the "Server Bridge DHCP Start/End" in the OpenVPN server setting.

                  Any idea?

                    Yes.
                    A DHCP server needs a host address. Not a network address, like the one terminating with 0.

                    But maybe this is just don't care situation because :

                    Everything work fine, the remote client connect well, DHCP is Assigned well ....

                        Me neither ;)
                        But a firewall does what you want - you are the boss ^^
                        Idea : make your rules verbose and have a look at the firewall logs.
