      Hello, I posed on Reddit for help, and someone was walking me through some basic troubleshooting. They said that my setup should be working, but it isn't.

      I can't see the gateway on vpn even though it says it's connected. I'm trying to set up a TAP to connect to my desktop and use steam in home streaming.
      My LAN is set to 192.168.124.1/24
      I was getting an error Warning: address 192.168.124.1 is not a network address in relation to netmask 255.255.255.0

      So I'm not getting the TLS error anymore. However I have to keep bridge DHCP enabled to prevent it.

      With it on, I'm getting "unable to redirect default gateway – VPN gateway parameter (--route-gateway or --ifconfig) is missing"
      If i set the server bridge dhcp I get an IP from the vpn, however the gateway is still missing.

        Hi,

        Just wondering if you were able to resolve your issue?, it seems that I have a very similar problem which I detailed in post:

        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=141511.0

        I didn't get any replies either and I'm stuck where to go from here as well.

        Regards,

        Robert.
