      I have make OpenVPN peer to peer SSL/TLS (net30 topology) connections between 2 pfSense hosts without remote/local networks specified in Server and Client configuration (just set tunnel network to 10.130.11.0/30) and on client side:

      then i have assign on both sides OpenVPN interfaces and gateways, after it i have add Firewall rule on both sides with OpenVPN gateway specified:
      9c4b86e5-3c83-42fd-95d2-539ebb333596-изображение.png

      I can ping both tunnels IP's from Diagnostics / Ping of pfSense, but i can't ping remote networks IP's.

      When i setup usual OpenVPN site-to-site with remote/local networks specified - all works as expected, but without remote/local networks specified and with manual gateway configuration both sides of LANs can't seen each other.

      I have two WANs and want make load balancing local and remote LANs with OpenVPN, but i can't even make pass local traffic through one OpenVPN gateway. Do i need any more configurations with pfSense for manual OpenVPN gateway routing through Firewall?

          I watch this video, and there is says (but not showing how) i can use OpenVPN as gateway and route traffic through firewall (static route as i guess), but i have no success with this.
          I don't want use Quagga_OSPF, i want to make simple load balancing through OpenVPN gateways, is it possible, what i can miss when do it?
