see local network ip address on pfsense

If pfsense is behind a nat router, then you would have to forward your vpn port to pfsense wan, if you want remote clients to be able to get to the vpn running on pfsense.
If your AP is actually wifi router and your natting again?
-
Yes, you are behind the Fritzbox and it is in router mode.
So if you are connecting from an external public IP the Fritzbox will need to be forwarding OpenVPN traffic to pfSense.

@stephenw10 Please tell me how should I do?
attach screenshots thanks -
You need to forward port 1194 (the default OpenVPN port) in the Fritzbox.
I can't make screenshots of that.
Where are testing from? What IP address does your Android client have?

@stephenw10
I on the Fritzbox I have activated the vpn
The access point is not reachable by vpn as the functions that require a public IP address (for example, port sharing and incoming VPN connections) may not be fully usable
Therefore the OPENVPN must access both the devices connected on the access point and the devices connected to the fritbox -
@stephenw10 With the openvpn app I connect from both tablet and android smartphone.
They have no fixed but dynamic public ip -
@stephenw10 So the openvpn server configuration is correct the problem and that the openvpn app does not connect to the server.
note the access point is configured with the same gateway as the fritz and active dhcp -
On the fritz you cannot forward port 1194 you can enable them for devices

That's a non issue.
By default, an OpenVPN server listens on port 1194.You can have a OpenVPN server listening on your first router - on its WAN interface : your frits box.
You can have a OpenVPN server listening on your second router / firewall - on its WAN interface : your pfSense box.Now, the solution :
NAT on the frits box, on it's WAN interface, port ....... 1195 ( !) to the LAN IP (point of view : frits box) - to the IP of pfSense - and have the port mapped to 1194 (as pfSense us listening on 1194).
Or, even easier : instruct OpenVPN on pfSense to use port 1195.
And make a 1195 to 1195 (port ) classic NAT rule from Frit's WAN to LAN (IP of pfSense).Tell your VPN clients (edit the ovpn config file) that the port is now 1195.
Done.
Edit : NAT = Network Address Translation. But nearly always NAT can also do PAT : Port Address Translation.

@gertjan
The openvpn now connects but only on the fritzbox I have enabled the udp 1194 port.
Doesn't it pass under pfsense as it should be done? -
@stephenw10 now the openvpn connects to the Fritz box network and no to pfsense.
In the fritz I have inhabited the door udp 1194.
What should I do to connect to the pfsense lan? Thank you -
@johnpoz The openvpn now connects but only on the fritzbox I have enabled the udp 1194 port.

Well ... see here.
-
@gertjan if you can explain me well how to do it and attach screenshots to me.
port 1195 is TCP or UDP or something else?
I have the IDP port 1194 enabled in the fritz box.
The openvpn connects only on the fritz box side and does not connect under the pfsense lan which is important for me since on pfsense I set the navigation filters.
Help me make it work thanks -

I can't say it any different : set up a port NAT rule in your Fitsbox, and choose any port between 1 and 66535 (not 1194 as it's already used on Frits for its own VPN server) - protocol UDP ** - to your WAN IP = pfSense.
NATting though a router, like pfSense, or a Fritzbox, or any other router on planet earth, should be 'easy peasy' for some one wanting to set up a OpenVPN server. And for that matter : any server type application. It's been done for some decades now, and should be a rather basic thing to do as soon as you want to host something @work or @home that needs to be accessible from the Internet.
The pfSense manual, the Netgate > Youtube videos explain everything.
** Or TCP, if you have OpenVPN server setup using TCP, which is less common.
-
@gertjan I did as you told me but openvpn connects but on the fritz box network and not with the pfsense lan
-
Please show us a screenshot(s) of what it is connecting to.

@stephenw10 So I have two networks:
The first 192.168.2.0 is that of the Fritz box where all the devices are connected.
The second network is that of pfsense 192.168.1.0 where the devices in Lan and WIFI are connected via access poin.
Now the openvpn connects only on the devices of the network of the fritzbox 192.168.2.0 and works correctly.
I don't know how to connect clients on pfsense network 192.168.1.0
