      Thank you for answering me even if the gentlness it's not the best side of you .... if the block letter bother you i dont care . i make it to underlight the post title. i am not beyond a modem because my modem is a simple one . you have probably missunderstood my question : i need to know how to solve ... the issue . that i am the client side of it i was slowing understand, thanks anyway man .The 3 times repeated post maybe it's simply an error.

        yeah gg, i just politely told you to delete your 3 errors,nothing more. i already told you what's going on and what to check/what to do. if you are unable to understand that 192.168.1.107 is a local network and you are in a double NAT situation / that 185.212 is not aswering you and that the server stuff is totaly wrong maybe it's time for you to ask help from your local computer shop because as far as I'm concerned you are on you own from now on

          You seem to have configured an OpenVPN server in those first 3 screenshots. Remove the server config, you are trying to setup pfSense as a client.

          In the client setup remove the local port setting. It should probably be random. It should definitely not be 443.
          Is the remote server port supposed to be 443?

          Set the correct client certificate there. Currently it's set to none but you uploaded a client cert.

          Is that the correct algorithm? What instructions does the provider give?

            @romantik70 said in CONNECTION WITH REMOTE SERVER NOT ESTABLISHED BECAUSE OF A SERVER VERIFICATION METHOD ERROR:

            a french provider sgpv.fr , cheap one but in doesnt give much cupport on pfsense

            That must be shpv.fr ....
            True, no doc on there site - nothing.

            They should have send you a ovpn file.
            Something like this :

            dev tun
            tun-ipv6
            persist-tun
            persist-key

            The <cert> .... </cert> and <key> ... </key> jhave to be imported into System Certificate Manager > Certificates : click on "Add" and then select "Import an existing Certificate"

            Now create a OPVN client.
            Over there, you'll be copy pasting the <tls-crypt>, also present in the ovpn file.
            Most of the settings can be set directly, some ned to be set after trail-and-error testing.

            Btw : it is highly advisable to choose a provider that gives details about how to set openvpn - as a client - on your side.
            This often boils down to installing https://www.ovpn.com/en/guides/windows-openvpn-gui - and then 'import' the ovpn file your supplier gave you => done. Millions are using OpenVPN like that, we all need this app so we can connect from "home" to our company infrastructure a safe way.
            I advise you strongly to test this first. Still the OpenVPN GUI client and connect it to your VPN provider.
            Take note of the logs .... and when all works as aspected, try implementing aan openvpn client on pfSense.

            Note : confirm that you want to connect your entire network to this VPN ...

            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                Hmm. He really did just ask you to post one thread, which is reasonable. I think there's just a misunderstanding here. 😕

                      As for the questions :
                      What did your receive from sgpv.fr ? is it really in reality shpv.fr ? A ovpn file ? Something else ?
                      What do they propose to actually use your connection ?

                        @romantik70 said in CONNECTION WITH REMOTE SERVER NOT ESTABLISHED BECAUSE OF A SERVER VERIFICATION METHOD ERROR:

                        WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.

                        That shouldn't stop you from connecting, that is just a warning..
                        I suggest you up your logging level to get more info on why exactly your not connecting

                          What is you current OpenVPN client config after making those changes?

                          What is the provider asking for?

                            i am only certain about a thing : the vpn works becuse i have tried to connect an vm with the windows openvpn program . on that vm there is a server web and i have put an html page .Connecting to that web server's page through an other connection i can load correctly the web page , so i am sure that the vpn connection has no mulfunction.. What i cannot do is to make it work with pfsense , but i need it , because my network has multiple VMs , that need to share that public static ip address that the vpn offers to me. In the picture attached there is a schetch of my network . The first time i did it , almost 1 year ago with the same provider shpv.fr it worked.After a period of time they changed configuration and i got that error. i quitted the service for one year because they told me that they didnt give pfsense support , the same answer they have given now , afterall , and i didnt manage to use the service any more.i have searched other privider that provides similar services at the same cheap price but i havent been able to find one similar so i have decide to return with them , but the support is scarce , after all they are french .my network.png .

                              That drawing is pretty useless to be honest..

                              What is the ovpn file they gave you to connect with?

                              Going to state again that warning has is not the reason your failing to connect.. Its a warning that your not validating the server cert.. That is all... its not a failure reason..

                              I see the same error when I connect to my openvpn AS,

                                  UP our log level in your client!! So you can see more detail.

                                  loglevel.jpg

                                  If need be take it past 5 into the debug level..

                                      Well our not going to get an IP if you don't connect, we can not see WHY your not connecting without up your log level to give us detail on the connection attempt that warning of not verify server cert has nothing to do with why the connection is failing.

                                        I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.
