      Hello all,
      the problem is described in the topic subject; apparently gmail smtp server does not accept connections through Vpn server; if I stop the vpn service everything works fine. Is there a workaround?
      Thank you

        The only workaround would be to check "Don't pull routes" in the client settings and direct your traffic by policy routing to the vpn server.
        So the default route points to the WAN gateway, which is used by pfSense for upstream traffic.
