      According to OpenVPN manual when client-to-client is not set, all packets should be sent to ovpns / tun interface
      https://openvpn.net/community-resources/reference-manual-for-openvpn-2-4/

      I am using tun setup and I disabled client-to-client. But I put an all PASS rule to OpenVPN tab in firewall.

      I check with tcpdump the ovpns1 interface and try to ping another client which is also connected to same OpenVPN server. The tcpdump does not see any packets and I am not able to reach to the other client.

      My understanding is that the packets should be routed through ovpns1 and it should still be possible to reach the other client even without client-to-client option.

      Why this does not work? Any ideas?

        Nevermind, the reason was that the openvpn had topology net30... changed it to subnet and things are working!
