      Are you connecting multiple clients at the time? Multiple clients connected at the same time would not get the same IP. But yes client A connects, then disconnections and client B connects then sure it could get the same IP that A had before.

      What does that have to do with pinging inbound to something on the lan?

        @johnpoz Yes I am connecting multiple client in same time and getting single ip for all the client, I think if we solve this issue we will be able to solve the ping issue as well.

          Are clients as using the same creds/certs access?

          Did you setup some client override following some previous guide that you did not remove?

                So your client can ping the pfsense lan IP - right?

                If so then the tunnel is there and your client is going down the tunnel. Then again this screams firewall on the host your trying to ping on the lan, or the device not having a gateway or pointing to different gateway that pfsense, or having a route that says your tunnel network uses a different gateway.

                Please sniff on your lan interface while you ping one of your lan IPs.. Like I showed in my example.

                  @johnpoz thanks TON to you for your all support, I am able to solve this issue by adding outbound NAT.

                    So you had messed with your outbound nat like I brought up way earlier in the thread.. If your outbound nat is automatic when you run through the openvpn wizard it will add your tunnel network to the nat..

                    Did you switch to automatic, or did you create some nat - mind posting your outbound nat screen..
