      Hi Folks,

      I'm intending to run pfsense with multiple LANs. One for my servers which have ports forwarded from the WAN (i.e. a DMZ), and one for my internal LAN. I wish to run OpenVPN on my pfsense router, so I can access my internal LAN remotely.

      In my current pfsense setup (Where i only have one LAN), in order for UDP OpenVPN to work, I had to put "local xx.xx.xx.xx" in the customer options, where the x's is the local interface for my LAN, then i needed to forward ports.

      Since the point of me splitting up the 2 LANs, is so that my internal network doesn't need any ports forwarded to it, how would this work?

      I just want to setup OpenVPN in such a way, that my internal LAN doesn't need any ports forwarded to it..

      Thanks

        Hi Jonny,

        Your explanation could use some clarification, what I understand is that you have two subnets and you want them both to be accessable for OpenVPN clients.

        If that is the case I guess you can just use the "push-route" option like so:

        push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"

        You wouldn't have to map ports although you will need to create some firewall rules on the OpenVPN interface to allow the traffic you require.
