        Is the RDP and ping going to the same device?

        Did you try with the IP address of the destination device?

        Consider that PCs are blocking access from outside of their LAN by their own firewall by default.

            Check the Windows firewall. As said, by default it is blocking access from outside.

            If the VPN is for your private purposes only, you could also masquerade the traffic on pfSense, so that the destination devices see the internal pfSense IP as source.

              @viragomann Thanks for your help ... it work! The problem was, that Kaspersky blocked it. after disable kaspersky it also blocked it... i had to go to the firewall port settings and allow it manual. Only deaktivating Kaspersky its not working!
