      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 ...

        local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        tls-server
        server 10.4.8.25 255.255.255.252
        client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn-csc
        ifconfig 10.4.8.25 10.4.8.26
        lport 1196
        management /var/etc/openvpn/server3.sock unix
        push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
        route 192.168.45.0 255.255.255.0

          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
                    dev-type tun
                    dev-node /dev/tun3
                    writepid /var/run/openvpn_server3.pid
                    #user nobody
                    #group nobody

                    persist-tun
                    persist-key
                    proto tcp-server
                    cipher AES-128-CBC
                    up /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup
                    down /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkdown

                    tls-server
                    server 10.4.8.25 255.255.255.0 ( in the meantime i have change also the netmask to 24 .. the error still remains .. i will restart the server …. but i don't know if this change something )
                    client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn-csc
                    ifconfig 10.4.8.1 10.4.8.2

                    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

                    and

                    more server1.conf

                    dev ovpns1

                    down /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkdown
                    local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                    tls-server
                    server 10.0.8.25 255.255.255.0
                    client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn-csc
                    ifconfig 10.0.8.1 10.0.8.2
                    lport 1194
                    management /var/etc/openvpn/server1.sock unix
                    push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
                    route 192.168.38.0 255.255.255.0

                    dh /etc/dh-parameters.1024
                    comp-lzo

                    For the last two the error is the same :
                    ( as this one )
                    Apr 26 21:18:14 openvpn[21948]: Use –help for more information.
                    Apr 26 21:18:14 openvpn[21948]: Options error: –server directive network/netmask combination is invalid
                    Status - > OpenVPN
                    [error] Management Daemon Unreachable

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

                    Best Regards,

                    Daniel

                      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
