      What do the logs say, from both ends.

      PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
      i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
      UniFi AC-Lite access point

      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            See for example Openvpn[50203]: Authenticate/Decrypt packet error ?.

            I've found the same error, just ones, last month in my log file :

            260b8995-73ba-4320-a38c-418f42130204-image.png

            What is this :

            11d5c0d8-d9e9-4b8f-970b-15939e2a2e8f-image.png

            Bridge ?
            What does bridge0 means ? Cab you tell more about your setup ?
            Maybe it's not important / not related.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                pfSense, or OpenVPN, isn't aware of 'wifi'.

                  Your problem appears to be different from mine.

                  PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
                  i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.

                      @honeybadger said in 2.6 cant get openvpn working:

                      write UDPv6: Can't assign requested address (code=49)
                      .... [AF_INET6]::ffff:192.168.1.178:51280 (via ::ffff:184.103.180.206%bridge0) ...

                      I have :

                      UDPv4 link local (bound): [AF_INET]192.168.10.3:1194

                      that is : I use IPv4.
                      I've nothing against IPv6 .... but try making IPv4 working first.

                              You could do what is advised :

                              see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings

                              And if your not using IPv6 : why :

                              write UDPv6: Can't assign requested address (code=49)

                              Can you detail your OpenVPN server settings ?
                              Your WAN is a normal interface - no VLAN, of whatever this " %bridge0) " is.
                              What for device are you using ?

                              Google this one. I find, for example : How to fix OpenVPN “TLS Error: cannot locate HMAC in incoming packet from …” which says to me that the client config used doesn't correspond with what you exported in the pfSense GUI.

                                  You can use https://what-ever-I-can-find-on-the-internet.tld but why wouldn't you also use these sources :

                                  Docs » pfSense® software » Virtual Private Networks

                                  This video "a working OpenVPN in 5 minutes", made by the ones who build pfSense.
                                  Configuring OpenVPN Remote Access in pfSense Software
                                  Actually, all the OpenVPN video @Youtube -> Netgate, even the ones that are x years old are very important as they show examples.

                                  If you really used a documentation, based on a very old pfSense version and also old OpenVPN (2.3.x or even before ?), it's a 100 %chance that things won't work out.
                                  OpenVPN is security related so there are important changes a couple of times each year.

                                  Normally, I build a "as per author instructions" setup, and this if everything works.
                                  Every error or warning shown in the logs have to be considered as show stoppers until, from official source, they can be allowed.
                                  Then, and only then, I add my own personnel settings, options and I test them one by one.

                                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

                                    @gertjan i read through your recommendated docs and videos.

                                    I dont see the difference btween my install docs and yours, please point out the missing steps/data?

                                    Thanks

                                      see the difference btween my install docs and yours

                                      I'm not using or referring 'foreign' sources, as I only use the originals.
                                      If there are differences, as you use older documentation, that's up to you to find them ;)

                                        @gertjan i did follow your recommended instruction at pfsense, ended with the same problem. I couldn't find anything different in setup between my original and your instructions.

                                          same problem

                                          You mean : you used Configuring OpenVPN Remote Access in pfSense Software and the instructions in that video didn't work right away ?

                                          There are some requirements that are not mentioned :

                                          The latest pfSense version.
                                          Default pfSense setup (no fancy routing, no VLAN, no other packages except the pfSEnse "openvpn-client-export" package.
                                          A OpenVPN client version that uses 2.5.x (pfSense 2.6.0 is using OenVPN 2.5.4)

                                          Anyway, I'm curious now. I"ll blow away my settings @home - reboot to default, assign interfaces, change the password and stop there. I'll play back the video.
                                          I'll be using this client OpenVPN Connect Phone or PC version.

                                          Since Mars 2020, thousands are using OpenVPN as we all had to work from home.
