<![CDATA[OpenVPN after router setup.]]>I have a friend who has a comcast business account and a comcast supplied router. I want to setup pfsense with OpenVPN after the router for him to access a freenas server. How would I set this up?

That would be a waste. ;-)
And you have to mess around with manual adding routes to the comcast and so on.
Why not use pfSense as full Firewall/Router?

And can I still use the lan ports on the comcast router?

Disable Block private networks and loopback addresses for the pfSense WAN Interface and forward the OpenVPN port from comcast router to pfSense.
