      Hello,

      I want to install pfsense 2.3.2 and wonder if I check these  options  "Block private networks and loopback addresses " and "Block bogon networks" options on WAN network, then I will be able to use these services outside office?
      1. Openvpn
      2. IPSec between our office and branches.
      3. RDP and Web services.

        Would you becoming from a rfc1918 address?  ie private or a bogon??  Then yeah if you put in the correct allow rules those would be opened or forwarded..

          The situation is like this:
          Head office has pfsense and its public ip is 94.30.20.xx and internal ip range 10.10.0.x
          Branch office public is 78.112.85.xx, internal ip address is 192.168.1.x.
          In this situation, if I check both reserved networks on wan, will I be able to use openvpn or ipsec from branch office?
