      You can add the OpenVPN widget to pfSense dashboard, it shows the User source IP:

      And of course in the Log
      Status > System Logs > OpenVPN

          I'm looking for the source public ip. That ip on that logs was the interface IP inside my network.

                  Do you have another router in front of your pfSense router?

                    Yes I have.

                      Router--->PFsense--->LAN

                      The IP address you'll see is the LAN address of your Router as its doing NAT.

                      You'll never see the true external IP address unless you get rid of the router or you switch the router into bridge mode.

                      The BIG clue here is 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 isn't public IP address space.
