        Sounds like a routing problem (as recently discussed on the OpenVPN mailing list).

        If the OpenVPN server (the pfSense host) isn't the default gateway for the network then you need to ensure that static routes are set up.

          Wel, i think i found the problem!

          I have a Cisco client and i made a connection with it first. After that i tried my openvpn connection and it caused the problem mentioned, i was able to connec but not to log on the server and to get VNC connection.

          Not sure what exactly but i will look in t it and trie to get back

          Thank's
