      I currently exhibit strange behavior when I'm connected via OpenVPN. I noticed that pfsense blocks connections to my VPN-client as seen here:

      However, the rules on my OpenVPN interface should just allow everything:

      I even let the firewall-log-view create these two random Easy-Rules, just to be sure that I'm working on the correct interface.
      So apparently the first allow-all-rule just gets ignored. but why?
