      I have troubleshooted this issue as far as I can as a new user of pfSense.  I have an OpenVPN Client connecting to Private Internet Access. I am using a script to port forward from PIA to a local machine on my network through the OpenVPN connection to PIA. I used this guide to create:

      https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/21128/how-to-port-forward-with-pfsense-advanced-users

      After setting up the OpenVPN client connection, my OpenVPN server no longer connects. I've narrowed it down to a single setting. If I check "don't pull routes", my openvpn server works, but the port forwards stops working. Any insight as to how to fix or troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated.

        I’ve got it working, I’m not really sure how. I changed the ncp settings on the server for a different reason, redonloaded the client file, and it connected. The options in the client file look the same as the old file.
