      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!

          If it's just failover you want: Use the in OpenVPN built in failover.
          Just provide multiple Server in the client config.
          If one is not reachable OpenVPN will failover to the next entry.

              I dont know. I never tried.
              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?
