This article assumes you already have a Remote Access OpenVPN configured in pfSense and you want it to be filtered.
For initial remote access setup please refer to the vendor documentation available here: OpenVPN Remote Access Configuration Example | pfSense Documentation
If using the Wizard
You want to check the box that says “Redirect Gateway”. This will allow features such as IP enforcement to work.

In the DNS Server 1 box, make sure you enter the IP address of pfSense so that DNS resolution will use the firewall. You can see what the IP is under Interfaces / LAN.

If editing an existing OpenVPN server
Check the box to enable redirect. If you have IPv6 do the same for it.
![]()
Enter your pfSense IP address(s) under DNS Server to cause all traffic to be run through the filter.
