      ========= RESPOND ABOVE THIS LINE =========
      Yes this is normal, DNS is not working at the moment.
      Please go there:

      And click "Generate Server Configs", you'll receive them by email.
      Best Regards,

        Hi @heuvep

        I finally received an answer by mail last friday (with
        however, after revisiting my pfSense configuration with following params (see below), OpenVpn Tunnel is up, but none traffic can be routed inside ... :-(
        of course, no modif in pfSense FW rules between old config (down) and new (up)

        client
        proto udp
        dev tun
        ca ca.crt
        dh dh2048.pem
        cert m_nge.crt
        key m_nge.key
        remote 151.80.148.150 1281
        cipher AES-128-CBC
        verb 2
        mute 20
        keepalive 3 10
        comp-lzo
        persist-key
        persist-tun
        float
        resolv-retry infinite
        nobind
        auth-nocache
        remote-cert-tls server

        Did I miss something ? Can you please confirm each field ?

        Regards !!

          What can not be routed where?

            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..

                I try to check each param

                client
                proto udp => field protocol
                dev tun => field device mode
                ca ca.crt => field ...
                dh dh2048.pem => field ...
                cert m_nge.crt => field ...
                key m_nge.key => field client certificate
                remote 151.80.148.150 1281 => fields server host + server port
                cipher AES-128-CBC => field data encryption algorithms
                verb 2 => field ...
                mute 20 => field ...
                keepalive 3 10 => field ...
                comp-lzo => field ...
                persist-key => field ...
                persist-tun => field ...
                float => field ...
                resolv-retry infinite => field ...
                nobind => field ...
                auth-nocache => field ...
                remote-cert-tls server => field ...

                a screenshot or precisions would be appreciate to be sure ...

                Regards

                  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..

                    Perhaps, but not sure ... I really appreciate to have a verif for each field ... only because I didn't change anything in my firewall rules ...
                    However, I never said I want some client to use my vpn connection
                    If you really want to help me, please check with me each field in the conf ...

                    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..

                    That's no either the subject ... but thx !

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

                              I found my issue : compression param was misconfigured ! :-)

                              I was able to find thanks to @johnpoz config share !

                              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 !
