PfSense-OpenVPN only conection

[m0t0b0y1337]

Hi team, I intend to use pfsense only because of openvpn, just to access a LAN. I intend to create an openvpn wizard, and forward the port of a 1194 / udp firewall to the pfsense lan or wan interface, I believe that what you think would work? who has more experience in it? will I have to do any other configuration? thank you advanced

So you want to connect WAN and LAN to the same subnet. That won't work reliably.

Is there any option to set up a transit network between the router and pfSense? It may be a VLAN on the existing hardware.

As @viragomann mentions. A transit network to where your pfsense openvpn box will sit is prob best solution.

Running a openvpn server downstream of your edge router becomes problematic..

Unless your going to do host routing on the devices your wanting to talk to in your lan, or you do source natting at the openvpn device.

so, we already have an edge fw before pfsense. I do not have a license to use its vpn. there we will use pfsense. understood?

That means you'll have to provide another route for traffic going through the VPN, in addition to the default route. I don't know that DHCP can do that.

Well then just replace it with pfsense - problems solved.
