      I have a OVPN P2P Connection between my pfSense and a Windows-VPS. I just noticed that although I had allowed a machine on my network to access the corresponding *_net thingy, it wouldn't work.
      Is this expected, maybe why?
      When I used the tunnel IP directly it did work though.
      There is no place to see what a *_net actually is, right?

        I have seen the same, when using OpenVPN interfaces.
        It is like pfSense won't rekognize the usual preassigned interface or net address.
        Since i use /30 L2L nets , i have an idea about them being assigned at "connect" time , confuses pfSense , and they won't resolve.

        I have also reverted to use the addresses directly (or via alias) in firewall rules
