      Doesn't freaking matter what "port" their service listens on - this has ZERO to do with what ports are bound to pfsense IPs.. They can use 53 if they want to... This has nothing to do with as a "client" connecting to some vpn service.

        Perhaps the OP should mention if he is actually having a problem with this. Something doesn't add up, if he's not running a VPN server on pfSense.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

              Which has ZERO to with wht port its on..

              And has ZERO to do with pfsense client talking to purevpn service.

                That error has nothing to do with running VPN on port 53. It's complaining that you are using an older, insecure encryption algorithm. I think you will need to change your encryption algorithm and then regenerate all your keys again.

                What version of pfSense are you using if your default ciphers are that old?

                  This has ZERO anything to do with pfsense... He is running current windows client on windows, trying to connect to purevpn.. Who's setup is ancient -- who would of thunk it ;)

                  These services are not in it for the "security" they are in for what phrase about money and suckers ;)

                  2 second google finds solution to his problem

                    @manjotsc said in PfSense DNS port 53:

                    That's the error I am getting now,

                    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see any mention of port number there.

                      There isn't going to be any mention of ports because the cert using md5 is too old for current openvpn clients - which he is running on windows.

                                  Get with this nonsense vpn company to update their shit!!

                                  And this has ZERO to do with pfense - ZERO!! Your not even trying to use pfsense as a client.

                                  There cert is not verify.. Its right there in what you posted!

                                      Well how about we actually troubleshoot that vs trying to do something that doesn't even look supported by this company.. They have their own "windows" software - where did you think you could use the current actual openvpn client with them?

                                        @johnpoz This is what is did in configuration file, TCP file attached works fine, only UDP connection is causing this issue.

                                        Thanks everyone for help and suggestion......

                                          And as you can see the CA certs listed in those are different!!!

                                          Let me say this yet again... Get with them to support their shit... this has zero to do with pfsense, zero!!!
