I would like to let user to choose if they want to connect internet via pfsense or their own gateway.  It is however, seems impossible for me to config the pfsense 2.0 to allow client to access internet.

Client can connect to VPN server from WAN and able to ping LAN address.
But the client was not able to ping the internet e.g, 8.8.8.8
when I do a tracert and ping. It actually lost 99.5% of internet traffic.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

my current config:
LAN 192.168.100.101-199
No. PPTP users: 10
PPTP Server Address: 192.168.100.200
Remote address range: 192.168.10.2
PPTP DNS Server : 8.8.8.8 (or 192.168.100.1)

Firewall Rules:
ID   Proto   Source   Port   Destination   Port   Gateway   Queue   Schedule   Description   
          *    *    *    *    *    *    none         PPTP allow to LAN / WAN
Automatic outbound NAT rule generation: Enabled.

Yes.. I am on amd64..
Is the same bug exist on the x86 version?
I guess I need to switch to 32bit in that case.

That bug only affects amd64.

i386 works fine.

Will this be solved soon? I'm asking, as we're using pfSense in a productive environment with the need of working PPTP-VPN for some of our users (~25 users, not simultaneous that much).

You can use i386 and it works fine now.

The bug may not be fixed until 2.1

I have the same setup on i386 and what I do on the PC is not use the gateway of the VPN.   I do the same on iPad.   On my android phone I don't have this option and my phone can't connect to any internet address because its using the VPN as gateway.  Isn't there a NAT - Outbound rule to fix this?  It didn't automatically create it it when I created the VPN....waiting on a fix for android..

I have an OpenVN server running on Windows 7 and all I had to do was ICS (internet connection sharing) a.k.a. masquerade (in linux) the server's nic and share it's internet to the OpenVPN adapter and my OpenVPN clients when connecting to the OpenVPN server gets the web traffic redirected.

I would like to know how to do this on pfSense.  m0n0wall did this automatically when I tried it.

I ran into this exact problem on my Galaxy Nexus. I can't get internet access at all, but it connects fine.

I ended up adding a rule under PPTP to allow any port, any source, any destination like I did on m******* and enabled the gateway on my PC/MAC/iPAD clients, can't have them both I guess...  It routes the internet traffic through my tunnel which is not what I really want to do but the only way I found it would work using Android..

2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Dec 12 18:43:51 EST 2011
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6

I assume i will have this bug too for PPTP. What about OpenVPN?
I want to create a VPN so that clients can route through my internet connection.

OpenVPN works fine, this bug only affects PPTP.

My friend has issues connecting to my OpenVPN server. I'm still not sure how to set up the OpenVPN server after reading the guides of which some seem outdated.

My settings at the moment

I have the same problem. PPTP clients cannot access the internet. This is not even remotely suitable for production use unless there is an EXPERT performing the configuration who can diagnose and lookup every problem on the internet.

How exactly did you make it work using Android?
