i followed the OpenVPN on pfSense - Installation guide for (Windows) Dummies :-) (road-warrior), to the dot.
Any sugestions on how to fix this or what it is thats failing would be nice
-
just tried with an ovpn 2.1_rc8 since some one was having simmilar problems after upgrading from rc7,8 to 9 but still the same.
-
So i redid every thing and even used the pfsense box to make the keys using the scripts and guide from http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4807.0.html and used the ovpn 2.1rc7 client but still have the same problem.
i really am scratching my head atm. any help info or suggestions would REALLY be appreciated. i'll try from a different computer see if its some kind of unexplainable error on my laptop.

No same thing from a different "normal" laptop without costume os

Hi,
I was having similar issues at one potin. Where my problem was is that i was copying the ta.key (The TLS key) that is generated when you create your tunnel on the server (pfbox) just using standard copy/paste. For some reason odd formatting was being added into the file and it would not work and would throw the error like you are getting because of an incorrect tls.I suggest enableing SSH access on your PFbox and using SCP to copy the "server1.tls-auth" key to your client or to another box where you can put it on a jumpdrive then move it to your client.
Also, i would make sure in your "server mode" for your openVPN server that it is not set to "Remote Access (SSL/TLS + User Auth ) if you have not set up your client to use a username/password. Otherwise you will get this error as well.
If you do want to use the user auth.. Add this to the top of your client config and try it out. (It will pop-up a username/password box for you).
–auth-user-pass
If you are still having problems please post back with your config from your client and server and i will try to help you debug your settings.
