        Your trying to connect to your pfsense while your remote, or you setup pfsense to be a vpn client to some service.

        That error normally is you couldn't talk to the IP of the vpn server. Port is blocked? IP is wrong, etc.

        Lets assume your trying to setup pfsense as the vpn server, and your client - lets say phone is remote and your trying to connect to what IP.. If pfsense is behind a nat, you would have to forward the traffic from that nat router in front of pfsense, to pfsense wan IP.. And you would have to set your client to use your actual public IP of the nat device infront of pfsense.
