Common Issues
Connection Timeout
Check that port 1194/TCP is not blocked by your current network. Hotel and corporate WiFi often block VPN ports. Try a mobile hotspot to test.
TLS Handshake Failed
Your .ovpn config may be outdated. Ask the admin for a fresh export from pfSense Client Export.
Can’t Reach Devices
Connected but can’t ping anything? Verify your client is receiving routes. Run route print (Windows) or netstat -rn (Mac/Linux) and look for the 10.7.x.x subnets.
DNS Not Working
Internal names like *.home.arpa resolve via the pushed DNS server 192.168.1.3. If your client ignores pushed DNS, set it manually on the VPN adapter.
