      Hey Guys,

      I've currently got a OpenVPN setup where I can simply connect to my home pfSense Server from work and use my Local Network.

      My Network is on the 10.0.1.0/24 Range
      My OpenVPN is on the 10.0.3.0/24 Range

      Now I'll be taking a trip to Vancouver soon and I access various sites that require me to have my WAN IP, so connecting from my Hotels WAN will not allow me access, so I've setup a Secondary OpenVPN Server on the 10.0.4.0/24 Range.

      Primary VPN uses port 1194
      Secondary VPN uses port 1195

      I've ticked the "Force all client generated traffic through the tunnel." Option and setup the following advanced commands

      "push "redirect-gateway def1";push "dhcp-option DNS 10.0.1.1";verb 1;mute-replay-warnings"

      Finally I have Manual NATing enabled so I've setup the following rule

      WAN 10.0.4.0/24.

      Now I can connect to my VPN without issue, but I do see the following: UDPv4 link local (bound): [undef]:1194 <– surely this should be 1195?

      I cannot ping anything on the WAN but can connect to my LAN. For example, ping 208.67.222.222 returns 100% packet loss but ping 10.0.1.1 returns normaly.

      Any ideas on where to go from here?
