How to remove warning message

gregeeh · Jun 16, 2018, 9:46 PM

Hi all,

pfSense Version 2.4.3 with OpenVPN Client setup to the VPN Provider.

I'm getting the following warning message in the OpenVPN logs every hour:

Jun 17 06:39:53 	openvpn 	5178 	WARNING: 'keydir' is present in remote config but missing in local config, remote='keydir 0'

I have searched the web and not been able to find a solution on how I can remove it. Even the man pages don't have a lot of information on keydir.

Any help appreciated.

TIA

Greg

i have this message as well.

although my pfsense box works reliably 100% of the time. i am curious what this comes from

'keydir' in the log refers to the directive --key-direction of the tls-auth key. The server has key-direction 0 and the client(s) key-direction 1

Did you get a tls-auth key from the provider or not?
If so set key-direction 1.
If NCP is used you can probably ignore the warning, don't know, no full
log provided...

i removed key-direction 1 from my config and its gone.

i guess the provider does not support this functionality
