*boggle* when i removed the overlapping openvpn subnet, WOL started working again. i ended up having to revert to my previous openvpn subnet configuration, and create a second VPN tunnel to my other site for the openvpn subnet to use. i hope a future release of pfsense will implement a gui editor to allow more than one subnet to access a single vpn tunnel! i had many sites, it would sure be a pain to create a pair of tunnels for each one, just so that road warriors could have access everywhere they need. cheers, jonathan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
