      Peterclo,

      Did you get a chance to look at this …
      http://www.uplinksecurity.de/data/pfsense-ovpn.pdf

      It is very well written.

      I only have one rules in my firewall to opne 1194 to vpn clients.

      WAN RULE
      UDP  *  *  *  1194  *  OPEN VPN

        Absolutely, that's the tutorial I followed to set up my VPN, it's indeed very nice.

        Thank you for your answer regarding the firewall rules, I was wondering if I had forgotten something there.

        Do your clients also get a 255.255.255.252 netmask?

          Peterclo,

          Ok I just went and tryed my openVPN and I am having the same issues you are.

          I upgraded yesterday and I guess hadn't tryed it since then.

          It worked without any issues with RC3 and now that I am at 1.0 it does not work.

          I get connected but can't get anywhere, I also get the 255.255.255.252 mask.

          Either something needs to be changed when going from RC3 to 1.0 or there is an issue with 1.0.

          SFM

            You can't imagine how relieved I am. Well, no, not really, I'd prefer it if it worked :p I hope the issue can be resolved now that we're both having problems here.

                  cheers,

                  first off, i have 1.0 running for road warriors & site-to-site and both tunnels
                  work as supposed, so i don't think it's a pfsense problem.

                  Question, the LAN servers you want to ping, do they have the
                  pfsense as gateway? If you are testing and a second gateway
                  is available this could be the problem (i encountered that, because
                  i forgot to change the gateway of one of my LAN boxes).

                  On one of your LAN servers and road warrior please show me "netstat -r".

                  Also, please install a "any, any, any, …" testing-rule for both WAN and LAN
                  to ensure it is not the firewall.

                  Reboot the box once after that and try again.

                  Do your clients also get a 255.255.255.252 netmask?

                  yep, that's ok.

                    Hey dairaen!

                    He he, that was it, and as I thought it was just me being stupid: the computer I was trying to ping was using our current router as a gateway and not my precious new pfsense box :) No wonder the poor packets didn't know how to find things :)

                    Thanks a lot for your help and the great tutorial you wrote! Maybe you could add a "Beware of your gateway" line in the section where you're supposed to test your new VPN tunnel?

                    I hope SFM has the same happy ending :)

                      Dairaen,
                      thanks for helping me figure this out.

                      I was using the pfsense as gateway on lan server to answer that question.

                      What I was doing in previous versions is pushing the local network with Wins and Dns servers.
                      This worked without any issues.

                      When I upgraded to 1.0 this no longer worked…......

                      After putting the local network in the proper location in the vpn server config and deleting it as a push everything works.

                      It also worked if I added (push "redirect-gateway def1") and left my config as it was. Only proplem with this is I do not want clients using it as there default gateway.
