    It's fixed on 2.4.4 snapshots. If you see that error, edit the firewall rule in question, pick the right protocol, then save/apply.

    @johnpoz:

    T-mobile went ipv6 only on their cells awhile back.. And there was a bit of a learning curve for their gateway from ipv6 to ipv4…  For a short time I had enabled a ipv6 instance of vpn so I could get in with my phone..  But they corrected their problem and I can now vpn in via ipv6 phone connection to my IPv4 IP on pfsense.

    Please can you elaborate what did you have to do on the pfsense side to get it working with tmobile ipv6. If I use my vpn server the phone shows my vpn ip for IPv4 but shows tmobile ipv6 address. Is it possible to change pfsense vpn server so that it offers ipv6 address too?
    What should be the ipv6 server address akin to 10.8.0.4 in IPv4?

    Probably a host name. The provider needs to be free to change IP addresses without breaking everyone.

    @viragomann:

    There's a bug in the wizard of the last stable version: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8391

    Edit the OpenVPN TardisHomeVPN rule on WAN and set the address family to IPv4 and select UDP protocol and save it.

    I edited the rule but same error. I just deleted it and made a new one from scratch. Now it works. Thanks

    I am still fighting with StrongVPN. I have managed to get the tunnel up, inasmuch as I received the message: "Initialization Sequence Completed". I have read that this means that the handshake between VPN server and client is  OK. Immediately thereafter, however, the VPN bombs.

    Here is a log transcript. Might a good soul tell me what I am doing that is wrong? Thanks in advance! (Note that the newest entry is on the top.)

    Thank you … that solved it.

    I kept looking on the client export tab not the servers tab.

    Another issue I found, could not connect for the life of me, following PureVPN steps and tips here, then spoke to support, turns out dedicated IP hosts dont work with OVPN, only PPTP / L2TP. As soon as I changed to one of PureVPNs "normal" public hosts it connected instantly.  Im using PF 2.4.3 with custom options in VPN client settings as below:

    verb 5;
    auth-nocache;
    remote-cert-tls server;
    comp-lzo

    Do these window servers use a different gateway? Or not set at all?  So they don't know how to answer.

    Screams firewall on them to be sure.

    What I would do to validate traffic is leaving pfsense towards the servers is sniff on this interface, assume its your lan where 192.168.20 network is.  And then say ping the server from remote client.  Do you see pfsense send the ping in the sniff.  If not figure out why not..

    If is sending, and correct mac of the server - and your not seeing an answer then firewall on the server or for whatever other reason it does not want to answer.

    Hello
    Thanks for your assistance

    Assuming you mean -
    VPN IP Network
    Specify the addresses and netmasks for the virtual networks created for VPN clients 
    The VPN tunnel network is  172.27.240.0/20

    My Pfsense box is getting assigned  the 172.27.254.38 ip and it seems to know the gateway is 172.27.254.1 but the interface shows as down as it cannot ping or talk to 172.27.254.1 .

    On the OpenVPN server, I can ping the 172.27.254.1  Gateway IP but not from the PfSense Box.

    Some documentation seems to say you need to assign a manual route, and others do not.  I have tried  assigning a manual NAT listing but it didn't seem to change anything.

    Start from checking your routing tables.
    I suppose that remote site may have no information on how to reach your remote access subnet.

    You don't need to touch configuration files.
    Navigate to VPN-OpenVPN-Clients and add your client configuration there.

    I would just spring the $9 on Viscosity and call it a day.

    Create the OpenVPN server and use the client export package to generate your configuration.

    Import it into Viscosity and you are done.
