        Please post up your openvpn config, your client config and what IP is your client on when you connect..

        Not going to watch a 15 min video for something that takes 30 seconds to setup. Clickity Clickity through the wizard, export the client config = done..

            why are you putting that in custom options? Remove that.

            Is your client getting the option to force all traffic out tunnel. What is the clients IP, not its vpn tunnel IP it gets. As already mentioned if your remove client is on the same network as your remote network its not going to work.

            Lets see your clients route after you connect and the status of when your client connects... example

            see here is my routes being added to the client per my above post

                        @comet424 said in Unable to reach LAN IP after connecting to openvpn:

                        but I loose internet and I cant ping…

                        Can't ping what?? Is what your trying to ping set to allow you to ping from 192.168.100/24 - for example windows out of the box firewall will not answer ping unless your on the same network..

                        You have to adjust the host firewall. For you to get internet access via this vpn connection, did you set your outbound nat for your tunnel network.. Should of done that for you, but if you had changed to say manual mode on your outbound nat than it wouldn't..

                        When you connect to your vpn, can you ping your lan IP of pfsense?

                            so do a traceroute.. What do you get from that?

                            example here is traceroute to IP on my home lan network

                            C:\Windows\System32>tracert -d 192.168.9.100

                            Tracing route to 192.168.9.100 over a maximum of 30 hops

                            1 101 ms 108 ms 103 ms 10.0.8.1
                            2 106 ms 101 ms 109 ms 192.168.9.100

                            Trace complete.

                            C:\Windows\System32>

                            Its long because my proxy is all the way in TX, while I am at work in Chicago, so from chicago to hou, back to chicago, etc. So yeah some added latency.

                            Ping and traceroute to the pfsense lan IP.. For example my pfsense IP on my lan is 192.168.9.253.. You trying to talk to devices on your lan might have host firewalls blocking your remote tunnel IP.

                                Well then your going down the tunnel and as already stated points to host firewall, or the host your trying to ping using a different gateway other than pfsense.

                                You not being able to get to say public iP 8.8.8.8 down the tunnel would point to outbound nat not configured for your tunnel network on pfsense.

                                  @johnpoz Hi, we are using only one GW and that is PfSense local ip 192.168.1.2 and also able to ping 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.2.2 when I am in VPN.
                                  I am really clueless now :(

                                      here is my outbound nat I set

                                      as for the pinging what I ment was on my cell I have a Ping program when I'm not on my vpn I can ping say 192.168.0.15 which is my Freenas IP as soon as I connect to VPN I get the 192.168.100.2 for my cell and I loose all internet.. I can no longer ping 192.168.0.15(freenas) I cant ping 192.168.0.1 the router or 192.168.100.1 which be the router I in virtual lan setting and this happens when I connect open vpn using my home internet or at the coffee shop

                                      I'm sure its something simple like a check box I missed that's causing all this right? for the traceroute id have to be at the coffee shop with the openvpn to get the results you want correct?

                                            Fri Jun 15 22:54:07 2018 Warning: address 192.168.1.2 is not a network address in relation to netmask 255.255.255.0

                                            That is not a network that is a host!!! network would be 192.168.1.0/24
