      Just installed pfsense with openvpn on a lunanode.com vm. I am able to connect through the tunnel to the lan network, but the lan network cannot see the vpn client side. I can ping the lan computer from vpn client, but lan computer cannot ping vpn client.

      PFsense vm: internal Private IP 192.168.10.4 External IP (Floating IP (WAN))
      PFsense vm: can access web configurator at 192.168.10.8 (from lan)

      em0 = WAN
      em1 = LAN

      Tunnel Network 10.0.0.0/24
      Local LAN 192.168.10.0/24

        Possibly the access is blocked by the clients firewall. It's the default behavior of desktop firewalls to block access from outside their network segment.
