I have a pfsense server setup that works dialing in from my iphone and also on my remote computer (subnet 192.168.1.0/24) to my main subnet(192.168.5.0/24).

TinCanTech,
Thanks for the links, I've read it serveral times but still having issues . Hopefully I can figure out what the conf files should look like with some help.

I believe this is pfsense version of your ccd file. /var/etc/openvpn-csc/server4: cat Plex2Master

push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
