      I have one OpenVPN Server running that works fine. It showed up in the firewall rules tab immediatly after i created the server.

      I know added another OpenVPN instance on a different port with different settings. I want to set firewall rules for that vpn too, but it doesn't show up in the firewall rules tab.

      The connection to this new vpn works, but since I can't allow any traffic, it is kind of useless to me right now.

      What would be the correct way to add firewall rules to this second OpenVPN?

        I run 2 instances, one on tcp the other on udp.  So tcp uses 10.0.8 and udp uses 10.0.200 for network ranges.  What sort of rules are you trying to do?  I have my openvpn tab rule wide open with any any.  But be happy to test some rules on my setup.

          Well, I have one instance running on port 1194 and one on 1195. Both are using UDP. And I also have the any/any rule in my OpenVPN tab. But my second VPN (the one on port 1195, doesn't get routed. The other one works fine.

            I run tcp 443, and udp 1194..  Both work, so your client doesn't get the routes for your local lan segments when it connects?  I leave for work in about an hour, and can provide some details of the client connecting to both and what routes it gets, etc.

            I would guess you prob have something missing in the config.  Or conflicting networks on one of the instances maybe?

              You seem to be right. On the working vpn i get these route::

              10                 10.253.0.9         UGSc            1        0   utun0
              10.253.0.1/32      10.253.0.9         UGSc            0        0   utun0
              10.253.0.9         10.253.0.10        UH              3        0   utun0
              

              on the "not working" vpn:

              10.252.0.1/32      10.252.0.5         UGSc            1        2   utun0
              10.252.0.5         10.252.0.6         UH              1        0   utun0
              

              But the server instances seem to be configured the same way and the client configs look identical (except of the port number)

                Argh. I found it. The IPv4 Local Network/s wasn't set for the second OpenVPN server.

                Thank you for getting me in the right direction :)
