[SOLVED] Is an OpenVPN client configuration required?

[seamus]

Here's a quickie, your 'Road Warrior' laptop, apart from it's VPN connection, what other connections does it have, i.e. has it got the same LAN range as the opnsense LAN?

Checking my "Network" widget in System Preferences (Mac OSX) shows that the WiFi connection is to an Xfinity AP outside my fw, and my WiFi has the address 10.241.70.36

Are you also seeing these..

Yes - see attached

Have you also checked the rules for the VPN itself?
same principle applies

Thanks for all of your help. It feels like my VPN is behaving pretty much as I had hoped, which is to say that I can now connect to hosts on my LAN from the VPN, and I can reach the Admin port on OPNsense. Some issues and questions remain wrt DNS for the VPN client to find hosts on my LAN, and an odd thing with the printer. But I shall mark this issue solved, and open a new thread for the other issues if I can't resolve them quickly.

OK, now you have it manually working, make some notes, backup the config with a name that tells you what it is then delete the VPN  and  use the wizard to create a new one. Note any differences.

As I said, I use the wizard then tweak.

Thank you again. I think that is an excellent suggestion, and I shall follow it.
