      I don't think it was an IP address conflict, because the LAN addresses on my pfSense use an unusual address that is not likely to be used on other networks (192.168.107.0/24)

      At any rate, syncthing has kept working over the VPN since my last post, so problem apparently solved.

        @pfsensory:

        What I decided to do was revert my pfSense box to a backup (before I started messing around with this), and redo everything again.  Now everything is working great.

        One question though - I am using a tun connection, which is working fine for my purposes except for one issue.  I use Syncthing, and I would like to be able to have it sync files when I am connected to the network via VPN.  However, because Syncthing accesses devices by IP addresses, and the VPN client device now shows up under a different subnet (10. for the VPN client, 192.168. for the main LAN), the syncing devices do not see each other.  Is there some way I can get these to connect?

        And one more question - this time when I set things up (using the VPN wizard), no interfaces got assigned to ovpns1 or ovpns2, and there are no corresponding tabs under the Firewall rules (although rules were set up for me at the end of the wizard), unlike when I did everything manually last time. Everything seems to be working fine, but should there be something there?

        Hello.
        We have a similar setup running both OpenvPn Server and a PIA client and I was hoping you could share your settings as I can't get them to work together…. That would be greatly appreciated as it seems I'm not getting any support from anywhere for such a common thing.
