      Thank you for your help.

      But i have a first problem.

      When i set the login, password, source (my wan ip) and remote adress of the vpn in the pptp interface.

      I go to the status of interfaces.

      I click on connect and i can not get to connect to the pptp vpn.

      But when i try to connect with my win 7 pc wich is behin the same router than my pfsense server. It connect to the vpn without any probleme.

      Do you have an idea ?

      Thank you

        Hello.

        i also tried to connect on an openvpn vpn server that is https://www.vpntunnel.se/en/ using this sticky post : http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,29944.0.html

        but i couldn't because in the tutorial it need a private key and the vpn server does not provide a private key as you can see here :
        http://www.vpntunnel.se/howto/linux.pdf

        someone can tell me how to use the tutorial without private key ?

        Thank you.

          You have also got a private key….you always need a private key for your connection...

          I tested vpntunnel.se a couple of months ago but they were way too slow...

                  thank you for your help.

                  i made everything on the post but i don't have the "Direct-gateway def1" log.

                  here is my log.

                  the /conf/openvpn-auth.conf file exist and have a chmod 777 i checked it.

                  Do you know what can be the problem ?

                  Thank you

                    Well I'm a complete novice but did you follow step 2 correctly?
                    Looks like it is saying it can't find the file containing your user name and password.

                    Step 2: Configure your username/password
                    1.  Navigate to Diagnostics -> Edit file
                    2.  Write /conf/openvpn-auth.conf in the “Save/Load from path” field
                    3.  Add your username to the first line, and your password on the second, and press save. It should look like this:

                    USERNAME
                    PASSWORD

                      thank you for your answer.

                      but as i edited my post after.

                      the file exist.

                      [2.0-RC2][root@pfsense.localdomain]/conf(11): ls /conf
backup             config.xml         openvpn-auth.conf

                      and is chmod 777

                      i don't understand.

                      (it is in red when i do a ls do you know why ?)

                            someone know what this means ?

                            TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync

                            Thank you

                              I just went into similar problem:
                              "TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync: "
                              version: 2.0-RC3 (i386) built on Mon Jul 4 16:48:37 EDT 2011
                              using OpenVPN + Remote Access (user auth) + UDP tun
                              I used that before, so issue seems to be related to latest snapshot.
                              This sometimes causes client disconnection.
