      @Digital_ADHD:

      Yeah his character flaws are not that interesting to me really to be honest with you. I came for some simple advice regarding my externally signed SSL certificate regardless to the use case and regardless of the scenario pfSense is stating that it is not a server certificate.

      I guess maybe I'm a different kind of individual where I would say listen this isn't the best practice to use a publicly signed SSL certificate for VPN server.

      That being said this is a known bug and to resolve it you would need to go to 2.4 and apply the following line in your config file.

      Do you agree that that would have been the easiest way to approach my question? Or is sending me a link and having me go back and forth with him while he ridicules me and behaves in a condescending manner the typical theme for support in this type of community?

        That doesn't give anyone a pass to be rude or condescending. That's like that age-old no offense but you're an a****** type mentality. I appreciate your help that you have volunteered.

              "a pass to be rude or condescending."

              And what gives you a pass to read into tone what your feeling?  Just because your having a bad day does not mean that some comment was not given in the best possible intentions.  That you read it as rude is quite often on the reader..

              I just read through this thread again.. And dok was nothing but helpful and nice until much later in the thread after you just didn't seem to be getting it ;) And then even then - he just stated this was a waste of time and he was out..
