      Pfsense 2.3.4

      I'm doing some tests to solve a problem described here.
      I needed two vpn user and two certificates for two different vpn client user.
      OpenVpn server mode is: Remote Access ( SSL/TLS + User Auth ), which should stay for check both user and certificate.

      I installed the windows Vpn client for user 1 on a workstation and added the configuration for user 2 in the right folder.
      Now OpenVpn client let me choose the configuration to use to connect.
      User 1 configuration uses User 1 certificates
      User 2 configuration uses User 2 certificates

      I was very surprised I can create the vpn with User 1 certificates and User 2 credentials and any other combination. Is it a bug ?
      To put in other words the vpn is created if credentials are valid and certificate is valid, but there is no check they match.

      Thanks
      Filippo

        Is this checked on the server?

        A comprehensive network diagram is worth 10,000 words and 15 conference calls.
        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          No, it wasn't.
          It solves my issues, many thanks.

          Anyway I'm facing great difficulties with vpn due to lack of documentation, guides and examples.
          Is there something like "Vpn for dummies" with tips and tricks ?
