      Hello everyone,
      I'm trying to use pfsense as a VPN concentrator.

      I've set up OpenVPN and I'm able to connect.
      the pfsense is connected to a CheckPoint firewall via a dedicated interface (using a switch).
      I added static routing and I'm able to connect to all the networks behind the checkpoint FW from the pfsense machine itself (using ssh or ICMP) however I'm still unable to connect through a VPN connection.
      What shall I do to allow routing using openvpn?

      Thanks in advance

        There is no difference between routing through a VPN or nor. It's all about your routing configuration. A VPN is simply another interface. So, once you've verified the VPN is working, ensure your routing is correct.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
