utawakevou Hi, I'm new to OpenVPN setup. Got it setup at one of our remote office so we can remotely support them. I install it using the latest vmware ova file from the website and just create use the local accounts for access. We''ve got pfsense firewall with a DMZ specifically for this remote access. All we want is to VPN in, and able to RDP to the internal server. On pfsense we create a VIP and assign an external IP from our WAN allocation and have a NAT port forward rule to our internal OpenVPN server ip address with TCP port 443 and UDP 1194. From external I can login using the local account via https however when I try to use the windows open VPN application it goes to Connecting, then Waiting for server then times out. Ive tried this from the local access when I'm connected on 192.168.39.0/24 network and use the app to VPN to the local ip address of the OpenVPN server using 192.168.37.10 and it works out well. However when I connect the app through the WAN it doesn't work. Probably I'm missing a TCP or UDP port in my firewall rules to allow the OpenVPN application ? Any help will be really appreciated.
