<![CDATA[OpenVPN and CARP]]>Hi,
I'm trying to make OpenVPN runs on two pfSense with CARP.

If i connect from a client to the OpenVPN WAN CARP address it fails; if i connect to the address of each single firewall it runs correctly.

How to make it running well with CARP?

Thank you for your help!

I think it should be possible.
Have you tried to set in the custom options the -local host option and set it to the CARP IP?

Just provide multiple Server in the client config.
If one is not reachable OpenVPN will failover to the next entry.
