OpenVPN fails to start
-
Hello
I'm trying to set up the OpenVPN server, but after I configured everthing, the deamon fails to start. When I check the system logs it shows this:
/vpn_openvpn_server.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/openvpn --config '/var/etc/openvpn/server1.conf'' returned exit code '1', the output was ''So, that output message is weird. Is there anything I can check why this is failing? A simple reboot didn't solve the issue.
Thanks a bunch!

Attach screenshots of Openvpn server configuration.

Thanks for your reply.
See the images attached, I altered as little as possible on the default configuration.

The OpenVPN log would give you a more detailed information.
However, as your screenshot shows, you have a wrong tunnel network setting. Set it to 172.22.0.0/20 (if you really need a /20 = 4096 addresses
). -
Thanks @viragomann Your advice instafixed it.
4096 is indeed rather exagerated. But does it really matter?

No, as long as you keep it in mind and don't add another subnet to pfSense which overlaps it, it doesn't.
