      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 doubt it. Config problem 99.9% of the time. What about my questions?

                    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.

                            @KOM It's already set all, issue still persist.

                              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.
