      I'm connecting via OpenVPN without any problems. but I can only access the local server with the IP address.
      I cannot login with the server's domain name (eg.\srv03 ). how can i solve this?
      urgent help please!
      2) 50 mbps download speed. There is an internet with 8 uploads. However, with openvpn, I can get a maximum of 7 mbps upload and 7 mbps download.

          Provide a DNS server in the OpenVPN server settings.
          However, you will have to access the hosts with their FQDNs (host name + domain name).

          Any reason for using a CBC cipher and setting the hardware crypto to "Intel RDRAND"?
          When you run pfSense on a modern Intel CPU, set the hw crypto to "none" and use the GCM cipher instead.

            -How can I set the DNS server?
            For example, would it be sufficient to write the IP address of the server I want to reach there?
            it didn't happen this way.
            I couldn't get it this way after setting it up. \SRV03\folder\folder2

            -I chose the Intel part because it solves my Speed ​​related problem, but it didn't.
            By GCM do you mean the "Data Encryption Algorithms" part above?

            please forgive me i'm a bit of a novice at this

              Yes. This pushes the DNS server setting to the clients.
              But you have to ensure that the clients are permitted to access this IP in case you have restrict their access.

              Also ensure that the DNS server is accepting the DNS requests from VPN clients. Possibly you have to add the tunnel pool to its ACLs.

              I couldn't get it this way after setting it up. \SRV03\folder\folder2

              As I mentioned, SRV03 (the host name only) is normally insufficient to access it from a remote site.
              You need to state the domain name as well like \SRV03.LocalDomain\folder\folder2.

                Unfortunately I couldn't solve it. I also gave the OPENVPN NETWORK Address to the DNS resolver part, but there was no solution.

                  To narrow it down check out if the pushed DNS server is used and if you can resolve host names on the client.
                  Try a public name like google.com with nslookup or alike.
