Hi @viktor_g,

I'm using OpenVPN version:

Here is the error when trying to run:

This only happened after re-installing Client Export.

Please update OpenVPN on Lubuntu to the latest version (2.4.x)

Gertjan

Or upgrade the Client OpenVPN on your Ubuntu from 2.3.18 to to the 2.4.x version so it understands "udp4".

@viktor_g @Gertjan

I already checked this box:

So it will not include OpenVPN2.4 settings, backward compatible with client running older older version of Ubuntu/Lubuntu

Gertjan

Might work also.

@Gertjan This is working before. I don't know why it doesn't work now.
How to install older version of Client Export? I got another box which have Client Export version 1.4.19_1.

The pfSense box i'm having problem is running version 1.4.21 of Client Export, I think the version is the problem.

Gertjan

1.4.21 included the newest 2.4.x OpenVPN client executables for Windows.

Maybe the downgrading to 2.3.x OpenVPN clients needs some manual assistance ?
So what ? Not a big deal. That the price you pay if you do not want to upgrade the OpenVPN client on the client device.
As said, upgrade to OpenVPN 2.4.x on the client, and problems are over.

What might be true, is that if you select

you should not wind up with things like

remote your-vpn-server.pfsense 1194 udp4

because "udp4" is a OpenVPN 2.4.x thing.

@Gertjan I'm using pfSese 2.4.4.p1 installed version of Client Export way back is 1.4.21 which is working smoothly for me when i'm exporting config.

Now that i've installed the latest version of Client Export(1.4.19_1), this is not working for me anymore:

I'm trying to update my OpenVPN client now via terminal but still latest version is 2.3.10

Im trying to install openvpn-as-bundled-clients-8.deb on my Lubuntu, still figuring on how it should work.

Aha, the issue is already known for 3 weeks or so.

Issue was resolved now. OpenVPN Client Export package 1.4.23 has been release:

Already updated on my pfSense box. UDP4 no more, its just UDP now:

Thank you so much to those who work-out the fix on this bug.
