      Hi everybody.

      I have a pfSense 2.5.2 with a OpenVPN Server running and a lot of OpenVPN Clients connecting to it.

      Could you tell me what is the default TLS version that uses OpenVPN on pfSense?

      Best regards

        @ramses-sevilla I just connected from my iphone ios 15.1 using openvpn connect version 3.2.3 to my 21.05.2 version of pfsense and it used tls 1.3

        I would assume 2.5.2 would be the same..

        Keep in mind client going to have a say in this - if doesn't support 1.3 for example. You can prevent older clients from connecting using older versions of tls by setting min tls version in server settings.

          @johnpoz I have done two tests connecting with my Android phone with the OpenVPN Connect v3.2.5 to:

          • pfSense v2.4.5-p1 and It has connected with TLS v1.2

          • pfSense v2.5.2 and It has connected with TLS v1.3

          I have tested too to connect from an UBUNTU with the OpenVPN Client but I can't see un the LOG of the client what TLS version is used.

          Does anyone know if I can see that in the LOG's of the pfSense or somewhere else?

          Best regards

                @ramses-sevilla what log level do you have it set too?

                You might want to bump it up

                  @johnpoz the Log Level was set to Default.

                  I have changed it to 2 and now appear the TLS version.

                  Thankyou so much.
