      Hi,
      While trying to setup remote access to the firewall via OpenVPN i see the below error on the GUI(see attached screenshot).

      What would be the issue?

          What would be the issue?

          The OpenVPN setup, the file with parameters that makes de service == daemon run correctly, contains errors. In this case, it's the place where you setup the OpenVPN settings.
          So the daemon (== service) starts, and fails to work correctly, so it stops.
          The GUI, let's say 'pfSense', can't contact the daemon, so it tells you what happens.

          Btw : to have the OpenVPN server logs telling you what's right and what's wrong, think about putting the "Verbosity level" to 3 or 4.

          Then go here :

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??
