      So setup is this (does work with asuswrt as client)

      Remote server which I manage running openvpn 2.4 server
      pfSense 2.4 running openvpn client
      Authentication is via TLS and also SHA1 auth
      private network for vpn is 192.168.0.0/24
      openvpn server ip is 192.168.0.1
      pfsense ip is 192.168.0.2

      authentication is successful in logs and pfsense box can ping 192.168.0.1

      I observed all my clients were not going over the vpn, then I discovered the lan ip's need to be entered into the vpn settings page.

      I entered a ip of one of my servers into the remote ipv4 box. However I just get a timeout trying to connect to it.

      Have I missed something configuration wise?

      Also to add I can ping that ip from the pfsense box and it looks like its going over the vpn based on the latency, but it times out from any lan client.

      pfSense CE 2.8.0

        I found the answer on a commercial vpn guide page.

        Basically I had to setup outbound nat rules to route the traffic.

        pfSense CE 2.8.0
