@Lagan said in OpenVPN Client Specific Overrides ot updated until server restarted:

I would like the new override to take effect when I restart the client.

Hummm.

It's possible that a save on the "Client Specific Overrides" page doesn't restart the OpenVPN server - I doesn't seem to do that.
Maybe it isn't needed, as the server has a setting :

client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn/server1/csc/

that tells the server to look into that folder for client special settings, the "Client Specific Overrides".

Anyway, I did restart the server, then connected the client and it got the '.30' IP.

I believe that is not affected.
I can only see tls crypt (without V2) being enabled in my config.

Yes, I tried that too.
I tried to ping the client's tunnel IP - unsuccessfully.

@viragomann That worked. You are awesome! Thank you so much.

@viragomann I did found out what it was wrong.
The error was in front of my face all the time and I did not were seeing it.

I have to put in IPv4 networks BOTH networks not only the one on my side...
Thanks a lot for let me see it! 😇

You can check with your mobile phone.
whatismyip.com should return your home IP.

@Rico No, and no log entries though we don't have OpenVPN set up.

I have setup Wireuard instead but am having DNS issues, have looked at several solutions. I can connect to devices via RDP on the other side of the wireguard tunnel but can't reslove dns on my side.

Thanks for the input.

Hi @Gertjan, thank you for answering. I´m not the only one, who is disappointed about openvpn makers suddenly treat their recent defaults as incompatible. As far as I know there is no easy (for people doing other stuff than openvpn too) documentation and/or recommendations for a soft transition.
I think the pfsense could be upgraded to 2.6.x easily, leaving the old vpn connections intact, but still using old standards. 2.7.x probably will not come up after upgrade if VPN connections were not altered before updating. But I don´t find any documentation, what to change to have a smooth transition from 2.6.x to 2.7.x.
"yust update to 2.7.2" is not a viable solution!
My hope was someone with knowledge about openvpn beyond using the wizards, could share some knowledge about paths for transition without interrupting vpn services for all who have to upgrade.

Hm, so only IPs and subnets, nothing that needs to be resolved? That should load as soon as pf does, which should be before the openvpn resyn at boot.

Do you see any errors in the OpenVPN or system logs when this happens? Or any sort of difference in the process ordering?

@timcin
This issue cannot has nothing to do with pfSense. So this is the wrong place to request support for it.
You should ask in a Raspy forum, how to enable an OpenVPN client service.

@donpablo
You will need some upvotes to be able to attach files. But you could have described you settings with a bit more details.

So did you state the local networks in the server settings?
Or did you check "redirect gateway".

Did you have a firewall rule in place on the OpenVPN tab to allow access?
The wizard should have added it automatically though.

Are you able to ping the LAN IP of pfSense?

I see the remote user connection IP is recorded somewhere, I see it when I click on "Status" -> "OpenVPN", where it shows the table of connected users, and it shows their remote IP there.

I see this in "/usr/local/www/status_openvpn.php":

<td><?=$conn['remote_host'];?></td>

Looks like that line builds the table data for the remote user's IP address (and port) and displays it in the OpenVPN status table. Is there a way to get that same data (remote user's IP) into "/etc/inc/openvpn.auth-user.php"? My familiarity with the code isn't so great so I'm having a hard time tracing back how this data is discovered, but it seems like there can be a way....?
