pfsense 2.6.0 system logs message OpenVPN failed to start

Jonas Souza

Now I'm having another problem, here's the screenshot.

OpenVPN service is online.

What can it be?

Mostly this error means that the client cannot reach the server.
The server IP is correct in the client settings?

Check the firewall log on the server if it has blocked the packets.
Or run a packet capture on WAN to see if the packets arrive at all.

@viragomann

Yes, the ip is correct, follow the client's log.

Would it be a problem with the certificates now?

viragomann

@Jonas-Souza
Yes, as the server log shows, there is something wrong with the certificate verification.

Is the client certificate issued by the CA, which you stated in the server settings?

Jonas Souza

@viragomann

Perfectly, I redid the user CA and it worked.

Many thanks for the instructions.

Excuse my ignorance, but how and where do I consider this topic resolved?
