      Hi

      From SSH during boot:
      e747f12a-21b0-4f0d-aa2c-aaab87ca5f7e-image.png

      This may have to do with openVpn. May be something with this :

      4717b6e4-ed1c-4f08-a8e0-4c7dc39d5934-image.png

      Reason for this openvpn_2 is that my original openvpn did not work in a stable mode, and I tried to make a new vpn connection.

      Now I have 4 problems/questions:

      1. I can't find where to erase the openvpn_2 service. Under VPN menu I find this:
        e59d61fb-f1ec-43bc-9621-87197c5a0eca-image.png

      and in VPN status i see this:
      a89e7cfa-076a-4745-a2b3-fa9c6abcea68-image.png

      1. I need to SSH into pfsens to make the boot complete
      2. is 1 and 2 connected?
      3. How to make VPN work again, service not running, unable to connect to deamon...

      I run on latest pfsense OS.

      Is there some tip to get?

      Everything can be rebuilt!

        openvpn_2 is a client setup. You're showing the servers here.

                By entering and saving the correct authentication data for the client vpn once.

                  WARNING: If the remote server requires both a username and a password, but only one is filled in, the system will hang on reboot prompting for OpenVPN Client credentials unless Authentication Retry is checked.
