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

              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
                              script-security 3

                              ping-timer-rem
                              persist-tun
                              persist-key
                              proto tcp-server

                                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
