      @prashant-joshi You need to select a certificate, first :)

        @NightlyShark Even after selecting the server Cert nothing changed. Still the left side is missing and blank.

            @prashant-joshi At this point of the head-scratching process, I would reinstall (remove and install) the OpenVPN package manually via cli.

              @Gertjan are you really on 23.05.1 ? I would move to current supported version 23.09.1 - there has been multiple changes, big one is jump to open ssl3, and I know the openvpn version has also been updated.

              23.05.1 is no longer on the supported list.

              If it was me, I would upgrade to current, and if your certs are still not working... Create new..

                @johnpoz We tried TS via anydesk (as securely as possible...) and in the end, it was throwing the "libssl.so.30 not found" error. In about 3 hours (when their workplace will empty) they will attempt the update.

                I wonder why I was spared from that when I updated, with my 2+ year old certs... Maybe because I have everything ECDSA.

                  I am pretty much exclusively using those.. I just created a couple for my new cams I got.. I might have some older but have started using those for the last few years.. And using those for my openvpn stuff.

                    @johnpoz And... a little bird told me that the only secure curve that was not recommended by certain people that are known to be allergic to public encryption (caugh, PRISM!, caugh) was secp521r1...

                        That's your system telling you : don't stay on older versions of pfSense. Upgrade to the actual version (23.09.1) asap and you'll be fine.
                        And note somewhere for the future : "never ever upgrade / install / 'do things with' packages before you've upgrade pfSense to the latest available version first".

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                          @Gertjan It's not my system... Not my thread, even. I just talk too much, hahaha.

                            Me ? Your kidding. 23.05.1 was ok, probably, I don't remember, 23.09.1 is pretty rock solid (for me). "VPN" (server) works well.
                            My bird says : if update is available, let the dust settle for a couple of days, and then click : upgrade.

                            Btw : I've still my 10 years certs in service :

                            Lifetime Remaining: 1027 days until expiration

                            These were the less secure days I guess ...
