Server poll timeout, restarting…
-
I'm trying to setup an offsite OVPN server and then connect to it remotely from my pfsense box. OVPN logs on my pfsense box give me the following messages, primarily "server poll timeout". Does this mean my offsite OVPN server is not found? I'm able to ping the server, and know the port is open from the internet side. But pfsense returns the following.
