      Hi,

      Have no idea what else to do. The pfSense box is offline and not connected to a WAN, but I'm only trying to edit the ovpn client's settings WTH?!...What does it want from me?

        If your WAN does NOT have an IP4 set up, the server can't configure/run because it can't bind itself to the interface. You can e.g. select "localhost" instead of WAN and it should save just fine, but if you select a physical/virtual interface, that interface must have an active working IP4 configured.

        BTW: if you wrote your IP in the local port field you showed in your screenshot above, you have other problems at hand... the IP goes in the box below ;)

        Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

        If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.
