[Solved]After reboot or disconnect - Unrecognized option or missing parameter..
-
Hi,
I use the advanced configuration filed to connect to an VPN Server. It works great until disconnection by network or reboot of pfsense.
Then I get log entries like: openvpn 20375 Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /var/etc/openvpn/client1.conf:35: 81782767e4d59c4464cc5d1896f1cf60 (2.3.9)When I look at adnaced configuration, it has rearranged the lines with the < > characters, like:
reneg-sec 432000<tls-auth>-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1----- and -----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----</tls-auth>
If i just line break the lines in the advanced editor and press save it works, until next disonnection or reboot of pfsense.
I have this issue on booth my client VPN connections.
Could it have something to do that I created the connections on 2.3beta? Using stable now, but I have always had this problem..
I guess it reminds of this topic that I found: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=80375.msg438377#msg438377
Thanks for any help/input.
SOLVED: I did a clean install of pfsense 2.3 and now it works. Before I had just updated from the beta.

Don't put <tls-auth>into the advanced config like that, use the GUI's TLS key field.</tls-auth>

Thanks for the tip. I tried that but then got AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED.
…But then I tried some more and it worked! Thank you! :)

Strange thing, it worked with the movement of tls key, but still same kind of problem.
But if I insert a space (or any char) somewhere in the key windod and deletes it, ans same thing in advanced window (which looks like:
persist-key; persist-tun; remote-cert-tls server; key-direction 1; reneg-sec 432000
and save, then I can connect. otherwise I get auth failed after disconnection.
