<![CDATA[OpenVPN cloud question]]>Hi there!

I'm trying to setup a connection with OpenVPN cloud. I have setup the client and have successfully connected the client in pfSense, but when connecting another device im unable to get any network access between the clients.

In the admin portal ive added a "Network" with the internal subnet address 192.168.1.0/24, but still from my phone over 4G when connected to the VPN I cannot access anything else on the 192.168.1.0 network from my phone.

What am I missing here? Im a complete OpenVPN noob and im using to using my own L2TP IPSec tunnels however im stuck with a router that cannot be put into bridged mode for my WAN, so I figured that having a cloud server in the middle would be the easiest option.

Thanks in advance.

I was confused because the VPN subnet said 172.16.100.0/28 but I was getting an IP of .18 for some reason, but none the less it still works.

Thanks anyway all sorted now.

See attached image I want to allow access to the 127.16.101.0/24 subnet.

Sadly I can't see any image.
And what is that subnet?

As I got it, you've set up a client on your pfSense and it is already connected to the service.
192.168.1.0/24 is your home LAN.
pfSense is not the default gateway in your LAN.

You can connect e.g. your mobile phone to the cloud VPN service and you should be able to access devices in your home LAN if it is configured accordingly?

Did you already add an interface to the OpenVPN instance on pfSense?

As a first check try a connection to the pfSense WebConfigurator. Allow the access on pfSense OpenVPN interface and configure the OpenVPN service to enable the access.

They have a cloud portal, and i have a domin.openvpn.com address. In the cloud I can create connectors and then connect clients to that connector, there is just no information on how all this works and I was subnet access across the entire internal subnet for all VPN connections. See attached image I want to allow access to the 127.16.101.0/24 subnet.

Thanks

What is "OpenVPN cloud"?

Provide some more details of your setup.
