      Hi guys,
      I'm new to Pfsense and have been trying to get an OpenVPN connection working. The Tunnel is up but I can't seem to route anything through it. I can however see two OpenVPN interfaces when I created only one.

      The basic steps I did. If you need more info, let me know.

      1. I created the OpenVPN Client connection to a remote server.
      2. I then created an OpenVPN interface based on the connection I just established. I named it "OVPN"
      3. I went to the "Outbound NAT to route AN Alias (composed of a single IP address) through the OVPN interface.

      However, when I create the Outbound NAT rule, I now see two interfaces: OVPN and OpenVPN?! I created the first but what is the latter? Under interfaces, I only see OVPN.

      Can someone tell me:

      1. What am I missing to get my data through the VPN?
        I got the VPN working now!

      2. How did the OpenVPN interface appear from thin air? I hope the print screens help illustrate the issue.

      Thank for any help!
