      I tried OpenVPN on b4 version, looks tunnel is up without problem, but remote client can't communicate with local network.
      From "system logs, firewall", I can see ping packets (ICMP) is blocked, where IF is "ovpns1". I checked the firewall rules, and see there is an allow everything pass rule under OpenVPN tab, created by OpenVPN wizard. Then go back to firewall log, add an "Easy Rule" from the blocked entry, but packets still can't go through - now there are two pass rules under OpenVPN firewall tab…...

      From pfSense SSH console, I can ping remote client no problem. So the tunnel is there, but looks some hidden firewall rule override the 2 new added rules.

      Any help of this?
