      As the title suggests, does pfsense/OpenVPN support the ability to perform a HIP check?
      Infosec wants to control where the VPN client gets installed and used - basically only VPN from corporate assets. I generally agree with the security posture but im not sure if OpenVPN is capable.

        Not as far as I know. Not in the open source client at least.

          @stephenw10 gotcha.
          Is there a workaround in OpenVPN that can allow only corporate assets to login?

          Btw, thank you so much on the reassigning port issue. You saved the day more than you know

            Hmm, effectively you're talking about a multi-factor auth setup but where one factor is built into the client device and cannot be removed?

            Possibly something like a TPM stored client cert:

            That's not something I've tried myself.

              @stephenw10 hmm something like that in a way

              For example here

              Essentially, i think the feature/logic needs to be built into OpenVPN and not a pfsense thing specifically.
