The Client tab under OpenVPN is for configuring pfSense to act as a client so it can connect to a remote OpenVPN server. This is an ideal option if you want to connect to a VPN service. Instead of connecting individual computers to a VPN, you can connect at the firewall, thus encrypting all traffic from nodes on your local network to the internet.

To begin configuration, click on the Clients tab and click on the Add button in the following  table.

Most of the options on the client configuration page are similar to options found on the server configuration page, with some notable exceptions. The User Authentication Settings section is where you set the username and password for the remote server. In the Tunnel Configuration section, the Don't pull routes checkbox, if checked, will bar the server from adding routes to your routing table. The Don't add/remove routes checkbox, if checked, will pass routes using environmental variables. Click on the Save button at the bottom to save the new client configuration and click on the Apply Changes button on the main OpenVPN page.
