What do I need to be able to ping vpn client from the lan side of vpn server?
-
So I have pfsense server 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 192.168.11.1
it has openvpn server 10.8.0.0/24
clients can connect to server and they can ping lan side 192.168.11.0/24
but I can't ping the vpn clients from the lan side. From 192.168.11.127 I can't ping 10.8.0.2
From pfsense diag I can ping 10.8.0.2I feel like I would just need to add a route from lan to openvpn, but I really don't know.
thanks for the help. -
Make sure policy routing on LAN isn't sending those connection attempts out a WAN instead. Might need to bypass it for that destination.

Make sure the target host VPN stack/firewall/etc will actually allow the incoming traffic from that subnet.

I feel silly but it was windows firewall.
Openvpn is detected as public network // unidentified network.
I don't have a default gateway set in openvpn. I think that is why.how do I set one that does not route all traffic, but is set so it can be a private network.
Thanks for the quick reply. -
I made a firewall rule to allow 10.8.0.0/24 in windows firewall.
That works, but it would be better If I could get it to show private, and not have all traffic go through the vpn.
