      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 ...

          dev-type tun
          dev-node /dev/tun3
          writepid /var/run/openvpn_server3.pid

          route 192.168.45.0 255.255.255.0
          ca /var/etc/openvpn/server3.ca
          cert /var/etc/openvpn/server3.cert
          key /var/etc/openvpn/server3.key
          dh /etc/dh-parameters.1024
          comp-lzo

          The tunnel still is not up .

            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.

                      So Jimp,

                      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
                      daemon
                      keepalive 10 60
                      ping-timer-rem
                      persist-tun
                      persist-key
                      proto tcp-server
                      cipher AES-128-CBC
                      up /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup
                      down /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkdown
                      local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                      tls-server
                      server 10.1.8.0 255.255.255.0
                      client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn-csc
                      lport 443
                      management /var/etc/openvpn/server2.sock unix
                      max-clients 3
                      push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
                      ca /var/etc/openvpn/server2.ca
                      cert /var/etc/openvpn/server2.cert
                      key /var/etc/openvpn/server2.key
                      dh /etc/dh-parameters.1024
                      comp-lzo
                      push "route 192.168.38.0 255.255.255.0"

                      The config for the rest of the vpn's that not work :

                      more server3.conf

                      dev ovpns3

                      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
