      You should see something like this in your client log
      Mon May 11 19:18:59 2020 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,...,dhcp-option DNS 172.29.33.101,dhcp-option DNS 172.29.33.102,...'
      I push via Client CSO, the Server option DNS Server enable should do the same though.

                  Again, check the CLIENT side log to check what is pushed or not pushed.

                      DNS traffic to pfSense is allowed with Firewall Rules?
                      Can you post your Rules via screenshots?

                          Fixed the issue if I don't set a dns in the openvpn setting it works fine and still used 10.0.0.1 as a dns thanks for the help!
