      @netblues Once i install the OpenVPN Server again and it sets the wizard rules i have no ping to LAN hosts, if i uninstall it, ping is working, so i guess the problem is a rule of the openvpn server or related to it.
      Now, at least I know the cause, and I can focus on it. I'm going to try to have all this working together, although i don't know why the rules are making this behaviour!
      Any suggestion?
      Thanks!

        @ReneMG The rules of openvpn server are unrelated to lan access.
        Unless there is some ip confict somewhere.

          @netblues Lan hosts are setting their ip's from Lan router by dhcp, the pfsense is recently installed without any setting except openvpn server.
          it has to be another question!...

            [SOLVED]
            I'm going to resume the steps to help others:

            • Clean installation of PfSense

            • Add OpenVPN server in manual mode, not Wizard

            • Try to connect a client and take a look at inbounds connections at firewall, select the rule to the 1194 port and Permit it.

            • Modify the rule to allow any host to connect to the server

            That's all, at least for me. I have the OpenVPN server working and clients can ping a host through a second router behind PfSense.
            I hope it helps!

            Thank you very very much! special thanks to netblues without whom this wouldn't have been possible.

            Thanks!
