    IPVanish VPN client works, internal network doesn't.

    Scheduled Pinned Locked Moved Firewalling

      Noob to PFsense.. been fighting for a month to get the VPN client working properly.
      Took two different pages to get it working right.
      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/116235/guide-how-to-connect-pfsense-openvpn-client-to-ipvanish
      and
      https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047410842/pfSense-2-3-2-setup.htm
      Between the two, I have a working VPN Client. Yay!

      I've been hunting through this forum and not finding anything that seems to work for my setup.

      I have a single server with PFSense and VM's on a PF Lan virtual net of 192.168.2.0 .
      The PF LAN goes through the VPN.
      The PF WAN is on 192.168.1.0 which includes the Router to the internet.
      The *.2.0 cannot access the *.1.0 net

      I'm seeing info for static routes, but no info on where to put that.
      Or do I need a firewall rule? Or what?

          You only need Firewall Rules to interconnect networks attached to pfSense.

            Check for the Block private networks and loopback addresses and Block bogon networks Options in Interfaces -> WAN and remove the checkbox.
            This is probably blocking some of your internal traffic.

              I have three interfaces, LAN, WAN and the VPN.
              All three have these options unchecked.

              I would like the 192.168.2.* to be able to talk to the 192.168.1.*

              I decided to change my VPN to NordVPN instead of IPVanish but the results are the same. I followed this how-to to set it up: https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn/

              My network topology is fairly simple:

              I have these firewall outbound rules, no other firewall rules have been implemented:
