      A week or so ago, vpn stopped working. I've rebooted today, logs show the following:

      php-fpm 410 /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/openvpn --config '/var/etc/openvpn/server1/config.ovpn'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libssl.so.30" not found, required by "openvpn"'

      Unsure what to do from here, new to pfsense. Any suggestions please?

          Hi, here are some 'any advices' (I don´t know the problem nor a direcct solution), hope despite it, something helps:

          • google "libssl.so.30", there are some listed topics, perhaps one hits
          • make a backup and do a clean install on another disk. Reinstall adons and restore. (Used disk may be faulty)
          • give some information about version of pfsense and used hardware. Forum users 'like' this.

            What is your pfSense version ?
            2.7.2 ?

            Before installing / updating / upgrading any packages, make sure you use the latest pfSense release : 2.7.2 or 24.11.

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

              !!!Warning!!! Before "making sure you use the latest pfsense" by upgrading to 2.7.2 make a backup. Upgrading from a version before 2.7.0 may break your whole installation/configuration because of possible openvpn configuration incompatibilities.

                  @pf-makes-sense Thank you. Trying to avoid having to do a complete reinstall at this stage, though I may need to.

                    @pf-makes-sense Thank you. Wondering if this applies to the "Plus" channel, going from 23.x to 24.x ?
