      What are you trying to access exactly from where? Your saying your trying to access gui on 192.168.5.254, from pfsense lan 192.168.99.X and you get what? And your accessing it via IP or some FQDN?

          Are you forcing your clients out some vpn interface - what are your rules on your lan, or floating tab? Do you have a vpn client setup to some vpn service?

            eheh, you are right.
            I have a OpenVPN client configured on pfsense and some subnets are going out via vpn.

            If I do a trace route from my pc to the router I can see that the connection exit via vpn gateway...

              Well yeah that would cause it ;)

              Policy route and allow what you want to access normal routing - before you force it down a vpn gateway..

                I tried.

                I have set a firewall rule from PC IP address to fritzbox internal address (1921.68.5.254) and the rule is before the main vpn rule but it still goes via vpn....

                  Well you prob pulled routes from your vpn connection, which you don't do if your going to policy route.

                      Look at your routing table, look at your vpn client setup - did you check the do not pull routes checkbox? If not then it would pull routes.

                        Ok, vpn client does not pull routes, I have checked it.

                        My current routing table is the following:

                        10.8.3.0/24 10.8.3.1 UGS 0 1500 ovpnc3
                        10.8.3.1 link#13 UH 8 1500 ovpnc3
                        10.8.3.19 link#13 UHS 456 16384 lo0
                        127.0.0.1 link#4 UH 7585 16384 lo0
                        192.168.5.0/24 link#8 U 11236 1500 em1.90
                        192.168.5.42 link#8 UHS 0 16384 lo0
                        192.168.10.0/24 link#7 U 2 1500 em0.10
                        192.168.10.1 link#7 UHS 0 16384 lo0
                        192.168.20.0/24 link#11 U 226025 1500 em0.20
                        192.168.20.1 link#11 UHS 0 16384 lo0
                        192.168.30.0/24 link#12 U 136670 1500 em0.30
                        192.168.30.1 link#12 UHS 0 16384 lo0
                        192.168.70.0/24 link#10 U 9794 1500 em0.70
                        192.168.70.1 link#10 UHS 0 16384 lo0
                        192.168.99.0/24 link#1 U 652937 1500 em0
                        192.168.99.1 link#1 UHS 804 16384 lo0

                        10.8.3.0 is VPN

                            Where is your default route? I don't see one..

                            How would you get anywhere ;)

                            Post a screen shot of your lan and floating rules - you clearly have a connection there for the 192.168.5.0/24

                            That you would go out your vpn, would only happen with a forced connection via gateway rule..

                            Keep in mind if you create a rule to allow the access out your normal path, any states would have to be cleared before that would take effect.

                              Adding default route and resetting states did the trick!

                              Thank you very much!
