"Ghost" OpenVPN interface?!?

eco · Sep 9, 2016, 8:40 AM

Hi guys,
I'm new to Pfsense and have been trying to get an OpenVPN connection working. The Tunnel is up but I can't seem to route anything through it. I can however see two OpenVPN interfaces when I created only one.

The basic steps I did. If you need more info, let me know.

I created the OpenVPN Client connection to a remote server.
I then created an OpenVPN interface based on the connection I just established. I named it "OVPN"
I went to the "Outbound NAT to route AN Alias (composed of a single IP address) through the OVPN interface.

However, when I create the Outbound NAT rule, I now see two interfaces: OVPN and OpenVPN?! I created the first but what is the latter? Under interfaces, I only see OVPN.

Can someone tell me:

What am I missing to get my data through the VPN?
I got the VPN working now!
How did the OpenVPN interface appear from thin air? I hope the print screens help illustrate the issue.

Thank for any help!
