      Hi to all,
      I have configured pfsense as openvpn client.
      I use this VPN to access pfsense console and pfsense webgui, i can access to pfsense via ssh but when i try to access webconfig i get redirect from http to https, the browser alert for my fake ssl certificate and then empty response.
      If i change the protocol from https to http i can open web config but it's really really slow (sometimes i get timeout) when other sites on the same vpn are not slow.

      curl https:

      curl https://84.8.9.20/ -Lvk
      *   Trying 84.8.9.20...
      * TCP_NODELAY set

      curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to 84.8.9.20:443
      

      Routing:

      ...

      84.8.9.1	link#12  UH	0	1500	ovpnc2	
      84.8.9.20	link#12	UHS	0	16384	lo0
      ...
      

      OpenVpn firewall rules:

      Protocol	SourcePort	DestinationPort	Gateway	Queue
      IPv4 TCP	*	*	*	*	WANFIBRA	none
      

      OpenVpn network:

      server 84.8.9.1
      network 84.8.9.0/24
      pfsense ip 84.8.9.20
      client used for testing 84.8.9.8
      

      Do you have any idea why I can not access the web config and why is it so slow?
      Thanks, bye bye!

        RESOLVED!
        The problem was the MTU of VPN!
        I had MTU 1500 but max of my openvpn machine was 1472.
        I add
        mssfix 1420
        fragment 1472
        mtu-test
        to openvpn client config and all works!
        Thanks!
