      Hi,
      I use PfSense 2.6.0 and OpenVPN. I use OpenVPN on Win10 client to connect office network.
      When I connect firsttly from one machine, there is no problem. I can see and ping office network.
      But when I want to connect secontlt from pther win10 client, OpenVPN sign green light on system tray anf getting CONNECTED confirmation. But I can not see or ping the office network.
      Then I restart the OpenVPN server on Pfsense box then I can connect from second client. But in this case I cannot ping the office network anymore. But it still green lignt on the sytem tray on first Win 10 client.
      It looks like there is connection limit? But in the Concurrent connections parameter I see 5...
      What should be the problem?

      Regards,
      Mucip:)

        Do you use different user names and client certificates in case of SSL on both clients?

          Yes I use different usernames and different certificates.

            The issue is typical for using identical clients.
            However, you can also rule out this by checking "Duplicate Connection" in the server settings.

            If no joy, check the logs of both clients and the server (Verbosity level 3 -5) for hints.

              Dear @viragomann ,
              I checked "Duplicate Connection" and try.

              Thanks.

                I checked the two connection while "Duplicate Connection" checked. But I can not connect still with the second user unfortunately.
