      Hmm - should have checked BEFORE posting :D. I have just downloaded the livecd snapshot and tried it and had no problems.

      Which snapshot are you running? Scott put in a fix yesterday that solved some problems with TUNx interface being blocked - which is what is causing your problem.

      Check that the snapshot you are using is after 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-08-2007 built on Thu Mar 15 11:35:13 EDT 2007 - check the file creation date on the snapshot if you are not sure.

          Not being a developer I probably can't help much more.

          Have a look at this thread which will help you track down whether it is the same problem I had

              This has been fixed.  Upgrade to a recent snapshot.

                    OpenVPN traffic is blocked after restart… I must open ANY wan or lan rule, click save and then apply for unblocking openvpn.

                      Exactly which version and build of pfSense are you running?

                          If you run pfctl -sr | grep tun from SSH before you save/apply the rule I presume you do NOT get two lines like this:-

                          pass out quick on tunx all keep state label "let out anything from firewall host itself openvpn"
                          pass in quick on tunx all keep state label "let out anything from firewall host itself openvpn"

                          where tunx is the OpenVPN tunnel (if you only have one it will be tun0)

                          and after save/apply rule you DO get two lines like that.

                            As you say… (write) ...
                            after restart there is no rule to pass traffic on tun interface...

                            When i change rule and click apply ...

                            pass out quick on tun0 all keep state label "let out anything from firewall host itself openvpn"
                            pass in quick on tun0 all keep state label "let out anything from firewall host itself openvpn"

                              Try letting the system boot.  And then from a shell run:

                              /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync

                              Does this solve the issue?

                                pfctl -sr | grep tun

                                /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync

                                pfctl -sr | grep tun

                                pass out quick on tun0 all keep state label "let out anything from firewall host itself openvpn"
                                pass in quick on tun0 all keep state label "let out anything from firewall host itself openvpn"

                                  Try this from a shell:

                                  fetch -o /etc/inc/openvpn.inc http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/openvpn.inc.txt

                                  Reboot and see if they come up correctly now.

                                  Thanks!
