How do i get pfsense to "talk to the WAN" to allow remote access into my LAN
-
I'm setting up a vpn server with openvpn on pfsense. I can access this vpn server using my wifi but not any network outside of it. I did enable the wizard firewall rules on set-up but it's still not "talking/connecting to the WAN side of pfsense"
-
usually the rule for 1194 udp is open by the wizard but it could be not enough, you have to give us more information about your wan, do you have a public ip on your pfsense? or do you have another router before it?
also with the help of packet capture you can see if traffic is hitting your wan interface -
@kiokoman Okay I am running a openvpn client to my VPN service so i am currently using a network vpn. I have LAN and WAN IPs in pfsense and i do know my origninal static public IP before the OVPN Client service
-
@abadabee and yeah my setup is DSL port in wall -> VDSL router(DMZ) -> pfsense device -> Wirless AP
-
You need to forward the OpenVPN port from your VDSL router to the pfSense WAN IP.

like this ?
ID Service Type External Port Internal IP Internal Port Protocol Status Modify
1 ? 1194 192.168.1.100 1194 UDP/\ WAN IP -
No idea what you are showing there...just a port forward like it is mentioned in your VDSL Router user manual. ;-)
