      Hello,

      I set up OpenVPN with pfsense and LAN access works fine, but internet access does not work any longer when clients are connected via OpenVPN.

      What could I do clients do no longer try to access internet over VPN, but use their local internet instead?

      Is it okay to run the OpenVPN incoming/outgoing connection on the same LAN with which pfsense is connected to local network. I mean my WAN interface ist just for admin control of pfsense and for everything else i use one LAN connection. Is that fine?

      Thank you in advance!

          How do I do that without giving personal data away?

              I just found it to be an android problem. When I use my android phone as a hotspot and connect my laptop to it, it works as intended.

              Is that usual?

                For Android no idea, with iPhone OpenVPN works like a charm for me.
