      @stephenw10 said in 22.05.b.20220518.0600 OVPN Client problems:

      I note that the gateways that show off-line are all the same /24 along with one that shows on-line. Is is possible you have a conflict there? I assume they are /30 connections?

      They are all /24, but that is normal for those Privacy-VPNs and they are all working good in pfSense, like right now. The only problem with them is when they get the same IP (and with that, same Gateway).

      Edit: Unless you changed there something in the last 3 days, I doubt that... has been working like that for years.

        Hmm, so you have 4 interfaces with the same subnet but using different gateways inside that subnet. Are you sure the traffic for those is actually leaving across the expected tunnels?

        I wonder if something that allowed that configuration was changed but not seen because having the same subnet on more that one interface is not supported. ๐Ÿค”
        I don't think it did.

        As long as nothing else in the subnet is required the more-spcific-route should apply.

          @stephenw10 Just changed the last pic to a more used tunnel...
          It works like this like forever. The privacyVPNs have tutorials for setting it up in pfSense and they are like this. I can't change the tunnel config anyways.

            Yeah, I understand. I'm not seeing anything that would have changed that might have stopped that working.

            It's seen as invalid because if you tried to ping, say, 10.8.8.26 pfSense sees that as connected directly on 4 interfaces. It has no way to know which one to ARP on.

            When you were on todays snap did you see any traffic on any OpenVPN tunnel?

            Do you have any IPv6 configured on any of them?

            Let me see if I can replicate it...

              @stephenw10 To be honest right after testing that UPnP now is working for me, I noticed that I can't browse the web. Than that the gateway Widget made no sense to me and I saw this weird log entry I posted in the startpost. I decided that there is something fundamentally broken here and I "rolled" back.
              Then I remembered that I changed al lot of the interfaces the other day... which are working fine.
              I will take another look tomorrow, if there is any traffic on those OVPN interfaces but I am kinda sure that even "SSATVIE" wasn't working and that is the one my browser is using, so not much hope.
              IPv6 is not supported by any of them.

                Ok, I've replicated that on a tunnel now. Were you seeing something like?:

                 May 18 17:16:51 	openvpn 	1424 	Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed

                  @stephenw10 So I "upgraded" again, only thing I find is this

                  May 18 18:46:04 	openvpn 	21814 	Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: missing authentication info
                  May 18 18:46:03 	openvpn 	77994 	Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: missing authentication info
                  May 18 18:46:03 	openvpn 	59187 	Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: missing authentication info
                  May 18 18:46:03 	openvpn 	39525 	Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: missing authentication info 
                  

                  Everything looks good though

                  But non of it is working

                  Even if I say, don't monitor, treat as up anyway, nothing is going through.

                    Yes, there's definitely an issue. We are pinning it down now...

                      @stephenw10 Wow, would be great, everything else is working, like Wireguard or my own OVPN-Server. I will go back now to check if "Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: missing authentication info" is just normal log noise for me. Also disabling all but one OVPN Client gateway didn't helped.
                      Edit: Going back now takes only seconds, that is a plus. ๐Ÿ˜
                      But I wonder, can I still see logfiles from the time before? If no, "Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: missing authentication info" is "normal" in my case.
                      Even when I am rebooting with 20220513 I have the feeling the OpenVPN Clients have to be restarted by me, but then they are working fine.

                        If that is the case then that's something different. Clients connect fine at boot here if they are able.

                        Looks like an upstream issue was pulled in and appeared in Tuesdays snaps. We are testing now....

                          Today I made another attempt (this time 22.05.b.20220520.0600) and no problem, as if it never existed. ๐Ÿ‘
