      please help
      pfSense 2.1 RC0 (i386)

      connection works properly at least as far as the openvpn client. The client can access the server and the network behind the server and use all the resources within the network (everything works great)

      But server (pfSense) can access only virtual address (pfsense client IPv4 Tunnel Network x.x.x.6)
      The server-side network has a connection only to same tunnel virtual address on clinet side.

      the server have a correct route to the openvpn client network

      the same was happening to me for both type of connection ("per to per", "Remote access windows client")

      I have no idea where I'm wrong

        Is isn't totally clear what you're doing from the wording of your post, but I'm guessing you want to be able to access the network behind the client… is that correct?  If so, on the client you need to enable IP routing... then on the server you need to add a client specific iroute statement.

          for a moment I thought that this will be easy

          I'm trying to make a simple site-to-site
          I have OpenVPN server and openvpn client
          Behind each side has one network

          openvpn server
          wan static
          lan (192.168.0.0/24)
          tunel network 172.16.100.0/24

          openvpn client
          wan static
          lan (192.168.10.0/24)
          tunel network 172.16.100.0/24

          routes are made destination 192.168.10.0/24 gateway 172.16.100.2 on server (on client is similarly)

          and when I add static NAT everything works but only from one side (client to server)

          Now where do I add iroute and if it can sample
          I guess "iroute 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0"
          but whether it should be included in the configuration from the server or the client?

            I think you should try a tap instead of a tun. With tap you should be able to see computers from each side because tap would allow broadcasts to travel throughout both networks. There is a tap patch under packages.

              Clarification…. Are both ends using PFsense?

                yes

                server route table

                client route table
                the client is behind a aDSL router provider by Internet provider maybe that's the problem?
                I tested this and it is not a problem

                I tried several times and addresses are not the same as in the first post

                    Ok, site to site, PFsense on both ends, forget the iroute.  I don't see a route to the 192.168.10.x/24 network on your server…. that's why you can't get to the client-side.  Although, I do see a route to the 192.168.194.0/24 network.... which looks like the LAN on the client-side.... are you sure the client is on the 192.168.10.0/24 network?  Might want to double check... cause it doesn't look like it.

                    Post your server1.conf and client1.conf.

                    On the client-side, it looks like you're double NATing, so you'll have to either remove it or keep your static route in place (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
