      Hello,
      I have OpenVPN running on a CentOs server @ 10.5.0.1.  My pfSense LAN interface is @ 10.5.0.5.  The VPN clients connect with addresses 10.8.0.0/24.
      I can ping machines on my LAN (10.5.0.0/24) from the VPN clients (10.8.0.0/24) and vice versa.  The problem is that the webserver on my LAN (10.5.0.2) is being blocked when sending requests to the VPN clients (e.g. 10.8.0.26).  There is a static route added.  I have attached my The static Route, Firewall log and my LAN rules.
      Any help is appreciated on how to add a rule to allow the VPN traffic.  I assumed the LAN rule allowed all forms of traffic.

      Regards,
      BBB

        Problem solved.

        I needed to select "Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface" under "System->Advanced".
