      Hi,
      I updated to 21.02 version on an SG-1100. My openvpn client is running but I am unable to get the provider's vpn ip. I have updated the client vpn setup to use compression (it was lzo previously and was disabled after upgrade). Also disabled crypto option. Should this be raised with the vpn provider so they can review configuration with the new version?
      Thanks

        Which provider?

        I’ve found if they are nit utilizing open vpn 2.5 it will connect but not pass traffic/ disconnect every minute or so

          @bcruze Expressvpn is the vendor. Any workarounds for this?

            Best of luck

            I would contact them to see if ANY servers are 2.5 openvpn

              @bcruze Now resolved, removed option 'don't pull routes' which is mentioned in their setup guide.

                just tried it with mine.

                yes it reconnected and worked. but I I reboot Pfsense OR restart the tunnel. traffic stops again

                you?

                  @bcruze Haven't restarted. What do the openvpn logs say?
