<p dir="auto">I have already an OpenVPN server on pfSense for my remote users, but now I have made an "upgrade" and I am trying to setup a new connection site to site.</p>
<p dir="auto">After following pfsense manual for configuration of a site to site with static key (https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/vpn/openvpn/configuring-a-site-to-site-static-key-openvpn-instance.html) at Server side, I made an entrie at WAN rules, from any source to destination at WAN address from port X to X, and at OpenVPN rules, I have created another rule using as source the OpenVPN IPv4 Tunnel Network with destination at any.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then I made a test port at the X port, and notice that it was closed, so first I started to check if the OpenVPN service was really, and it was, then I went in OpenVPN logs, and also there was nothing wrong. So I started to think that it could be from the rule at WAN, but I have already checked several times and it is that port that I have set for OpenVPN.</p>
<p dir="auto">In system logs I have found two entries about this ovpns2 who is this OpenVPN server, but dont know why it is showing after having all the previous setup in place:</p>
<pre><code class="language-java">Jun 15 09:37:05	php-fpm		/rc.newwanip: Interface is disabled, nothing to do.
Jun 15 09:37:05	php-fpm		/rc.newwanip: rc.newwanip: Info: starting on ovpns2.
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">If you need more info just ask please.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>
