OpenVPN - Nord/SurfShark/Proton

DenverDesktopsSupport

Been working on a WAN VPN connection on my PFSense 24.11 release. Have tried Proton Free, SurfShark paid for service and now working on Nord VPN paid server. Cannot get a tunnel to connect.

Have tried TPC and UDP multiple locations. I'm assuming I am a setting or two off, but what do I know.

All insight is appreciated.

Comcast internet using a Netgear modem.

@DenverDesktopsSupport Maybe try WireGuard.

Aren't there some lines more in the log to see?

Possibly your ISP is blocking VPN. Try to get a VPN service using port 443 TCP.

@viragomann Not blocked. Have used port 443 in the past.

Thx

You should got a client certificate from NordVPN, which you should have installed into pfSense and use in the VPN settings.

The VPN server might not be happy with this one:

I am following the Nord's instructions on this step which shows the webconfigurator.
