      My first post and new to pfSense, so please be gentle.

      I installed the OpenVPN package and configured everything as I understand it. 'Local Network' under the OpenVPN Server tunnel settings is set correctly to the inside LAN.

      The OpenVPN client is installed on a laptop and it successfully connects.

      However, I can't ping the inside LAN interface on the pfSense. When I enter 'route print' on the remote Windows laptop, I don't see a route to the inside LAN. I presume this is the issue…

      Any obvious areas to check?

      I have also tried the following text in the advanced configuration section, but to no avail:
      push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.99.99.6"

        We need more specifics.

        Post a Network Map
        Post your openvpn config (server1.conf)
        Post firewall rules on the openvpn tab.

          Thanks for coming back to me.

          It's now fixed. The issue was laptop privileges, in the end. Once I ran OpenVPN as the administrator, then it worked fine.
