              ive downgraded to the "pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-RC1-i386-20110320-0050" snap

              and everything works once again.

              ive gone through the bugtracker activity and cant seem to find the cause, but its somewhere within March 21st, and March 23rd.

                is this really of no interest to the developers ?

                  Sure if you can provide more detailed info than it it being within March 21 to 23, nothing even remotely close to being related to that has changed in that period. If there were any widespread issue with OpenVPN and routes we would have seen it long ago and you wouldn't be the only one reporting it.

                  The only time I've ever seen route errors is when you incorrectly have static routes defined that overlap with routes from OpenVPN.

                    alright fair enough.

                    but i must say, going from the release on the 20th to the 23rd, i had made absolutley no changes to the configuration.
                    im going to go ahead and update to todays release, the 29th, and report back with more details.

                      ive moved on to todays snapshot
                      2.0-RC1 (i386)
                      built on Tue Mar 29 13:39:02 EDT 2011

                      and it has happened again.

                      again, moved back to the
                      march 20th snapshot
                      and everything works once again.

                      might  be able to PM you with the openvpn status log so you can see the details privately ?
                      id rather not post it here publicly.

                          Can you try latest snapshots.
                          There were fixes in that section which would possibly fix even the reported issue.
