      Hy team ,

      the issue still remains . I have updated to the last version "2.0-RC1 (amd64)
      built on Mon Apr 25 23:01:13 EDT 2011" the same error :
      …....
      openvpn[41007]: Options error: –server directive network/netmask combination is invalid
      .......
      The tunnels defined :

      Server Mode : Peer to Peer ( SSL/TLS )
      Protocol : UDP
      Device Mode : tun

      Best Regards,

      Daniel

                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,

                  Daniel

                  PS: 32 ... 255.255.255.255. .. my mistake  ... anyway i will do the modification ...

                      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?

                              Just for grins, try using /24 for a netmask.

                                Le me to explain the configuration …
                                On this PfSense server i have 3 OpenVPN configuration. One of the tunnel is set up for Warrior type of vpn and the other two are configured to connect 2 private networks .
                                For all of them i am using for authentication certificates .

                                So Config for warrior ( VPN that works ) :
                                #user nobody
                                #group nobody

                                daemon
                                keepalive 10 60
                                ping-timer-rem
                                persist-tun
                                persist-key
                                proto tcp-server

                                errors that appear each time when i am trying to start those two tunnels .

                                  Ah, yeah I see now, it's rejecting it since it expects the IP to start at the subnet boundary, which it doesn't in your case.

                                  For the 10.4.8.25/30, try making that 10.4.8.24/30 instead.

                                    Ok Jimp ,

                                    i have modified the network like this 10.0.8.24/29 instead of 10.0.8.25/24 and now it is working. Probably the issue was the first time when i have defined the VPN … and now because some thinks are verified it's not working like in the past .

                                    Anyway i have understand where was the problem f I was careful from the beginning in defining correctly the whole discussion would not have made ​​sense.

                                    Great work guys ,

                                    Thanks.

                                    Best Regards,

                                    Daniel
