StrongVPN

[Tjh]

Can anyone help me with StrongVPN? does StrongVPN work AT ALL with pfsense anymore? Support told me they had to switch me over to the private IP (rather than shared) servers, which they did, but there are literally no guides anywhere on the internet that work, (I suspect there have been big changes in the way it works in the last few years).

ANy help at all would be appreciated, I have an .ovpn file but I'm a vpn newbie. Here's the logs:

@Tjh said in StrongVPN:

TLS Warning: no data channel

sounds like you have tls enabled. but strongvpn does not support it?

open the opvn files and setup the tunnel with what is displayed... alot of times you have to remove a few things in the opvn file to get it to connect. no idea there since i never tried that provider
