      I found the problem and it's working now, my pfblocker has the same subnet ip as the purevpn was trying to obtain. Only issue now is when I am connect to openvpn, the dns stops working ex: youtube.com when typed, but if I type the ip of youtube "172.217.13.206" manually on address bar it works.

        Funny you should mention that. I just got an SG-1100 and was configuring it last night. I have 3 VPN connections defined, and when I bring one up in particular, everything dies. I also have pfB loaded. I was about to spend time today researching the problem but you may have just solved it for me.

            No, it turned out to be a DNS issue.

                I think I had to specify a gateway under General Settings - DNS Servers.

                    DNS fails for all of pfSense (not just LAN clients) when you bring a tunnel up? You can't resolve via Diagnostics - DNS Lookup?

                          I did, specified a "DNS" for gateway of VPN and for WAN_DHCP, but it doesn't seem to work. It won't resolve to anything it just keep loading forever, even under Diagnostics - DNS Lookup. It kill WAN, LAN

                            I asked:

                            1. DNS fails for all of pfSense (not just LAN clients) when you bring a tunnel up?

                            2. You can't resolve via Diagnostics - DNS Lookup?

                              DNS fails for all pfsense WAN, LAN, and can't be resolved under Diagnostic, DNS Resolver, when the open VPN is up.

                                And you're using Resolver? You have it set to listen on all interfaces, and use all outgoing interfaces? Maybe try setting Outgoing to WAN alone.

                                    Strange. Usually people have the opposite problem, where they're leaking DNS out the WAN. It should just work. I don't have any other suggestions except for the nuclear option: reinstall fresh, take backups at every config milestone when you know the system is working and revert back if something goes screwy.
