Please be aware that if you do not have a static external IP address (which most people don’t), you must set up DDNS.DDNS stands for Dynamic DNS and it tracks your external IP address to ensure that you will ALWAYS connect to your home network when using that domain name. My goal is to simplify the process as best as I can and show how to set up OpenVPN on pfSense as easily as possible. Tons of options (which can mostly be skipped or bypassed), but having those options offer you a ton of flexibility that you don’t normally have. OpenVPN is a little more complex to set up on pfSense than it is on a Raspberry Pi or Synology NAS, but that’s just how pfSense is. Utilizing pfSense allows you to run OpenVPN on your router and offload the service to that device which is arguably the best place to have it running. I’ve created a few OpenVPN tutorials using a Raspberry Pi or Synology NAS, but out of all implementations, this is my “favorite”.
