Very slow user synchronization on pfsense boot

cfabre · May 22, 2017, 5:20 PM

Hello guys,
I have pfsense 2.3.4 with openvpn enabled. My openvpn has about 200 local users in pfsense. When I restart the firewall, it takes about 30 minutes to synchronize the users.

Is there anything I can improve on this?

Don't use local users :-)

Install the FreeRADIUS package and put the users in there. Keep the certificates just in the certificate manager.

I suspect it's the same root cause as https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7469 which we know can be handled much better, but we can't focus on that particular issue until after 2.4 is released.

OK, I understand.

Thanks for feedback!!!
