Upgrading to 22.05 causes instability in OpenVpn and Wireguard
-
After upgrading to pfsense 22.05 OpenVpn and Wireguard VPN have become unstable. Initially they would not allow a connection, now I can get connected but not able to access resources on the backend. If I try to ping any of the assigned IP's no answer are reported. Before the update, everything was perfect.

You see any errors? Blocked traffic in the firewall logs? Are the required routes present?

@stephenw10 No, I dont see an error message. On Wireguard sometimes when you connect you can see the connection is uploading and downloading, but you cant connect to another network resources sometimes. Then other time you see 0k/289 bits signifying that Wireguard is not connecting to the server. On OpenVpn it may connect, or it may connect and no access to resource, or everything works fine.

Ok, probably need to take those things one at a time work through to find exactly where it's failing.
So can you ping between the two tunnel IPs in this state for example?
No error messages in OpenVPN even when it fails to connect?

@stephenw10 Hey stephen, I was able to track down the issue to the Dynamic DNS service. I use NoIP to track my ISP changes, so it seems that the Dynamic DNS service was rotating the new IP address and the old IP address which is weird because it only started after I upgraded. Which explains why the connection to the server was intermittent. Thanks for your help.
