      Hi all,
      my name's Paolo and I'm new in this forum.

      Recently I installed pfsense, and I think it is a fantastic software, I tried to set openvn and I read a documentations about the configuration but when I try to connect on it  I receive an error message that I can't connect, "handshake  failed "

      Could you help me to fix this issue ?

      Any help is appreciated

      Many tks in adv for your collaboration

      Paolo

        Welcome to pfSense.

        The fact that you get "handshake failed" means the client is at least trying to connect which is a good sign.

        In order to help you with your setup, we'll need more information about your setup:

        What type of OpenVPN connection are you using - site to site or remote access ?
        What type of authentication are you using - PKI, PKI + Auth, Shared Key?

        What device is trying to connect as a client?
