      Hello! I am currently connected on OpenVPN and i can connect to pfSense Web GUI just fine.

      But i can not access nor ping LAN addresses, the following message appears when i try to ping a server that is behind pfSense:

      Requested timed out.

      Please, can someone help me ?
      What configuration you guys need to see? Let me know and i will post it here.

        I guess you have a firewall rule in place allowing anything to any destination on the OpenVPN interface.

        So I suspect you get blocked by the destination devices themselves.

          Are you accessing the GUI using the LAN IP?

          Is pfSense the default gateway for the LAN side clients you're trying to access?

          The LAN side hosts might be blocking access from anything outside their own subnet. The Windows firewall will do that by default for example.
