        Hi Jimp,

        Thanks for that! I have flashed the new firmware onto a lab router this morning and I can confirm that backing out that change seems to have fixed the services not coming up due to that error. I will try the router in production later today and let you know how it goes. Looks good so far!

          Yeah except there is still an issue, apparently the peer-to-peer PKI setups are strange beasts which need some extra love. I need to run some more tests and find out how to properly fix that bug.

            We've been using peer-to-peer PKI in production for several weeks now with no problems until the attempted fix for #1417 the other day. I suppose we could try reconfiguring all p2p tunnels for static key but "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

              Are you using client-specific-config entries to specify iroutes to client networks?

                @jimp:

                Are you using client-specific-config entries to specify iroutes to client networks?

                No way. Not at all. But maybe the user that originally requested #1417 was trying to do that.

                Personally, I don't think client specific config entries makes sense for p2p and neither does OpenVPN and that's why it spit out that error message "Options error: –client-config-dir/--ccd-exclusive requires --mode server".

                  Well it is required for Peer to Peer (SSL/TLS) - just not Peer to Peer (Shared Key) - that's what I was referring to, SSL/TLS is the "PKI" I was referring to earlier.

                  For Peer to Peer (SSL/TLS) you need iroutes to get routes back to your remote sites that connect to the server instance.

                    I think I've got this sorted for sure, it works for me in a Peer-to-Peer (SSL/TLS) setup with iroutes between two VM networks.

                    https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repos/mainline/commits/0cc5ab42269a5aa1588ac2f862b0201917569ada

                    Either try that change or wait for the next new snapshot and then try it again.

                        What does you /var/etc/openvpn/server*.conf look like for that instance?

                            But what about the contents of those .conf files?

                                What is in the tunnel network box for that connection in the GUI? It shouldn't be /32, at least /30 is needed there.

                                  Hi Jimp,
                                  you have right , normally i should be at least /32 … but i have a look on GIU and the Tunnel Network it is defined as 10.4.8.25/32.

                                  If you want i can provide you the access to the pfsense server, send me an e-mail to ionut@myd.ro.

                                  Best Regards,

                                      You probably are not hitting the same bug as others in this thread then, you should probably start a new thread and fully explain your situation there.

                                          Ah, sorry, I didn't notice that. :-)

                                          Apparently nobody else in the thread had the same exact issue as you then, as everyone else is working now.

                                          Did the error in the server log change at all after fixing the netmask?
