OpenVPN TAP works, but cant access any services on the router

Sorry to ressurect this thread, but I’m seing the same problem on my 2.4.5 pfsense. Access to the router itself is “spotty”. Sometimes it works all day and in all sessions, other times everything but access to the router works.
I have no packages installed.

I was just wondering if you keept experiencing the problem on and off like me even though you felt pfblockerng was involved initially?

@johnpoz I understand your argument for TUN, but if you have very complex routed networks behind the router with accesslists all over the place, TAP can start to make sense :-)

unfortunately (for this case) i have not experienced this problem any more during the last couple of years. any time i connect to a tap server, it just puts me on the lan network.

I have tried everything, and it’s definitly a “glitch” in the OpenVPN/pfSense TAP combination. It mostly never works, but once in a while I can all of a sudden access the GUI and the local resolver.

Well, decided to change my setup to a routed TUN solution instead with outbound NAT applied on access to LAN.
Not a great solution, but I have a workaround for the two issues NAT presents in our application usage.

I am facing issue with TAP config, there is a server location in inside the pfsense network, using tap we are accessing that server from outside the network from different locations and different system, the issue is, some users able to access the server few of them are not, the users who are unable to access server are able to access other VPN clients.
