      Hello, I have setup an openvpn scenario.
      During the configuration I always specified to use IPV4.
      The guide I followed is quite straightforward:

      https://chrislazari.com/pfsense-setting-up-openvpn-on-pfsense-2-4/#:~:text=Creating%20the%20OpenVPN%20Client%20on,Tunnel%20Settings%20and%20Advanced%20Configuration.

      I installed openvpn on a client and imported the extracted configuration file.
      But when I try to connect I always get those messages:

      Thu Dec 10 17:15:50 2020 UDPv6 link remote: [AF_UNSPEC]

      Should I make the configuration file by myself?
      Is there a guide for that?
      Any help is appreciated.

      The configuration file is this:

      dev tun
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      data-ciphers-fallback AES-256-CBC
      auth SHA256
      tls-client
      client
      resolv-retry infinite

      verify-x509-name "CERT_VPN_TEST" name
      auth-user-pass
      pkcs12 pfSense-UDP4-1195-UserForVpn00.p12
      tls-auth pfSense-UDP4-1195-UserForVpn00-tls.key 1
      remote-cert-tls server

        I edited a little the configuration and now I have another error.

        Thu Dec 10 22:05:43 2020 UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]IP ADDRESS:PORT
        Thu Dec 10 22:06:43 2020 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

        Thu Dec 10 22:06:43 2020 SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting

        The peculiar thing I see it is that if I do an IPCONFIG on the windows machine I try to use, the adapters are not working.
        Unknown adapter OpenVPN Wintun:

          I changed from udpV4 to tcpV4 on both servers and clients.
          Is it correct that if I go in Status Openvpn I see this as a status?

          this is the log I get from Openvpn client

              I found out the issue:
              checking in system logs openvpn there was this error:
              Options error: --server directive when used with --dev tun must define a subnet of 255.255.255.248 (/29) or lower
              corrected in vpn--openvpn--server--edit
              now I have other errors but at least they are not unknown.
