    Usually just a setting in openvpn's server config.  I stopped using it for another reason (reload then it wouldn't work again lol).

    Ok, this: if ( ! openssl_pkcs12_export_to_file( $req_cert, "user.p12", $req_key, "" ) ) is the problem. The .p12 produced only contains the user cert - I need to add the CA cert as well. However, it doesn't look like there's a php openssl_ function to do this - which is probably why the openVPN Client Export Plugin uses: exec("/usr/bin/openssl pkcs12 -export -in {$ecrtpath} -inkey {$ekeypath} -certfile {$ecapath} -out {$eoutpath} -passout pass:{$eoutpass}");

    Yeah how else would you skin that cat? ;)  If you want user X to be allowed access to device at 1.2.3.4, then yeah you need to make sure user X always has IP address 2.3.4.5 so you can allow that via firewall rule.. User Y that gets something other than 2.3.4.5 would not have access.. If you have groups of users that all need same access you could just create different vpn connections so that users A,B and C would always get ips in network 1.2.3.0/24 and you could then create the firewall rules on that network vs specific IP and if you have other group of users that need different access then AB and C then they could be on entwork 1.2.4/24 etc..

    Some more logging from the OpenVPN server. At the moment I unassinged the OpenVPN interface. It wasn't clear to me if I should or should not assign the interface and configure the IP. It seems to work (or not work) either way.

    You could add explicit-exit-notify 2 to your client(s) config. Then you will see in the server log SIGTERM[soft,remote-exit] received, client-instance exiting

    How can these settings i.e "Backend for Authentification" and "IPv4 Tunnel Network" have anything to do with exporting user certificates? The export wizard tries to limit exposing users for export that cannot possibly log in. If you had Local database selected in the server, had created the user certificate, but did not create the user in the local database, then that user would not be able to log in so the user is not exposed for export. When you select the external authentication method then all it will check for is the presence of a certificate issued by the Peer Certificate Authority.

    More information is needed to help you. What is the server? What is the client? What are the Local and Remote networks on each end? Where are you pinging from? Where are you pinging to? You generally have to specify a specific source IP address (Like the interface address of a network specified as a Local network in the OpenVPN configuration) to ping across an OpenVPN tunnel from the firewall itself so it's pretty unclear what you're actually doing.

    Ok, just to confirm the issue was that the ISP device had a hidden 'advanced' setting which did not forward Internet packets by default, as I thought. Once this was found, and packets forwarded correctly, it worked fine! Thanks for your input!!

    That's from the client. The OS or OpenVPN build on that device doesn't support that method of hashing/encryption

    Thank you for your help, another user just PM'ed me with another method of fixing the issue. The killswitch now works using the link I just posted above and I'm ready to move on in my network issue 'todo' list. Thanks so much for you help. Also I had already deleted the redundant/useless rules. I had just started making any rule on whim to see if I could stumble on the solution.
