      Could anyone help me please for setting up OPENVPN to be able connected to my LAN client?

      I have installed pfSense 2.1 with this machine I installed the OPENVPN below is my network interface:

      WAN: 192.168.1.0/24 (pfSense: 192.168.1.12)
      LAN: 10.10.10.0/24 (pfSense: 10.10.10.10)
      OPENVPN TUNNEL: 172.16.1.0/24

      Finally, my openvpn is working, I can ping to pfSense on LAN interface (10.10.10.10) but the problem is I cannot ping to LAN client such as 10.10.10.11; 10.10.10.12.

      Please correct me what should I do?

      Thanks in advance.

          Hallo to everybody!
          I've the same problem.

          I set up an OPENVPN server with PFSENSE 2.1
          I can connect to the VPN and see the pfSense server, but I can not ping the clients in the network.

          These are my settings:

          WAN: dinamic (I use Dinamic dns to connect)(it is working good)
          LAN: 172.16.0.0/24
          pfSense server: 172.16.0.1

          VPN: 172.16.5.0/24

          Here a screenshot of my configuration.
          Thanks in advance for the help.

            Firewall rules on the OpenVPN interface determine what traffic is permitted to pass from remote OpenVPN clients/networks through pfSense to other interfaces (like LAN/OPT1.)

            Try a pass any any to LAN subnet on the OpenVPN firewall rules tab to get it working then clamp it down to specific hosts/ports if desired.

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
