Pfsense 2.0.3 OpenVPN bridge TAP

amsteel

I did installed the patch before upgrading to 2.0.3.

I also have the same problem. Tap VPN worked great on 2.02 and upgrading to 2.03 broke it. Any workarounds?

you can manualy change configuration file and change parameter from –server 0.0.0.0 to --server-bridge + "OpenVPN tap Bridging Fix" package.

Uninstall the tap fix package and then reinstall it again once the new version shows up. Parts of the patch were failing on 2.0.3, I updated the package to compensate.

It fix the server issue. OpenVPN works fine now. However I found a bug with webgui. It looks the section to setup bridge options got replicated more than once. I think the uninstall did not take out the webgui part and the new installation just added another same section. But just my guess here.

That's a side effect of how the patch is applied… it only adds text to the page, so it can't tell that it's already been applied, since it applies cleanly.

Best way back from that is to gitsync to RELENG_2_0, or manually copy a fresh version of the stock file over, then reinstall the package.

Im in the same situation.. multiple 'bridge dhcp / interface' selections after tap fix 0.4… how to remove tap interface and reinstall it ? basic-step-by-step <-> gitsync or manual copy way?

If you need hand holding, gitsync or manual copies are not for you. Re-apply the 2.0.3 firmware and that will sort it out.

I have the same problem. I saw the solution of re-apply the 2.0.3 firmware worked for you, but I dont know how do that.

Are you talking about the System -> Firmware -> Manual Update?

Thank you!
