      @heuvep well that would explain the problem - so nice of them to let their users know ;)

      So you should update your config on pfsense to use IP vs fqdn (that doesn't resolve) and you should be good to go then.

        Thats correct, if you login with your account ont there portal and generate a new config for your self it uses ip adres instead of fqdn. it will be update in the back in the app but they have not communicate at all. Yesterday i did receive a mail and that triggert me. I will test today to see if it works.
        So if you do not use the app you need the new ip adresses and hope they do no change all the time!

          Yes it works now. So you need to use the ipadres.

            @heuvep & all

            Hi guys !

            Thanx for this tip / generation of new config
            I tested with success with remote 212.83.133.203 1281 => I have connexion, but a very bad rate ... :-(

            Of course, I asked a new config server, but I just receive .. nothing !

            So, can we share a list of IP adresses please ? Besides 212.83.133.203, do we know another IP adresses ?
            Can we also share location for each IP ?

            Have a nice day !

            Regards

            W.

              When you login the portal you can generate the config file your self. You then get a zip file with lot of ovpn files from diffrent country's. You can find the ipadres in that file

                        no traffic inside VPN.S OpenVPN tunnel whereas flux should be OK (no change in menu Firewall / Rules / LAN )

                        I think I missed something in my VPN.S client configuration (menu services / VPN / openvpn / client) ; I look for what, so my question ...

                          Not helping to be honest, its more like you just had a stroke or something.. "whereas flux should be OK " ???

                          I think I missed something in my VPN.S client configuration

                          How would you have missed something.. If all you did was upgrade there wouldn't be any changes, etc..

                              You said you connected, none of those settings would have anything to do with "routing" or not routing.. If you wan some clients to use your vpn connection, that would be setup via a policy route in your firewall rules.

                              If you want all of your traffic to go out this vpn that could also be set in your gateways and what is set as default..

                                  Not sure what you posted - but clearly its not complete, nor a screenshot even from your gui setup of your client, etc.

                                  So how do I know if you even put in what you posted, etc.

                                    Why would I waste such time.. Again none of those have anything to do with routing.. Just a quick glance your not actually showing the config anyway.. Here is a client config from pfsense for openvpn

                                        which has nothing to do with "routing" which was your question.. Glad you got it sorted!

                                          you're right ; however, if your compression param is not OK, there's no traffic in the OpenVPN tunnel ... and no byte sent / received in Status / openVPN menu ...
                                          Symptoms are the same as routing issue ... which was my interrogation ...

                                          Have a nice end of day !
