      Hi guys, recently I got a lot of sites blocked in my country and had to resort to pfsense VM and routes.
      Problem is, I want to use vpngate network with LOT of free servers and they are often offline.
      Now, I started to experiment with gateway groups, failover etc and found something irritating - there is no way to find out which ovpnc(1-xx) interface corresponds to which ovpn client profile. Like, I created two profiles now, they're both up and connected, but I don't know which one my WAN is assigned to. Is ovpnc1 first in list, ovpnc2 second, etc? Or is there some shell command/diagnostic menu?

        Add a description to the client setup and you will find it in the interface list.

          Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
          Before I thought that 'description' is a usual 'comment' attribute which is visible only when editing ovpn profile
