      I have a rather basic installation of PFsense 2.0.3 with OpenVPN.

      When my OSX 10.8.3 client connects with TunnelBlick I get connected ok, and I can get to machines on my internal LAN, and I can nslookup against my PFSense (as its the main DNS server for the LAN) and resolve names. But I can't ping or use the internet because my 10.8.3 client machine can't resolve any domain names in other applications. Its only nslookup and host that work for resolving.

      Tunnelblick is set to "Set Nameserver 3.1". So it sets it correctly (verified using scutil –dns ).
      OpenVPN is Remote Access SSL/TLS - UDP - TUN- TLS - Provide a DNS server list to clients is checked with the IP address of the PFSense box included.
