Look at the ipp.txt file. This is supported through the pfSense GUI as well¹. But that doesn't solve the fundamental problem we face. Which is that we cannot reliably access the clients. Via IP address doesn't work (even if it's fixed on the VPN) because the hosts (laptops) connect do different parts of the network and get assigned different addresses. So we have to address them via hostname. This works like a charm thanks to the “Register host names in DNS” feature, except when they connect via VPN. Hence this post.
