OpenVPN client specific override Error?

[Vlee]

Hello,

I am trying to follow the guide below to configure a single multi-purpose openvpn instance.
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/openvpn/configuring-a-single-multi-purpose-openvpn-instance.html

However, when I create the client specific override, it looks like Pfsense deletes it after i click save? I don't see what I created under the client specific override tab.
I then notice that there is a notification that says "PfSenseConfigurator
pfSense is restoring the configuration /cf/conf/backup/config-1586591.xml @ 2020-04-13 16:00:41"

Does anyone have any advice?

I never had this error but assume you are filling special/international characters in the CSO fields?

screenshots of the Client Spec Override please

@Rico I'm not really sure. I am just trying to follow the guide by netgate. I am thinking what it says to paste in the Advanced section counts as special characters?

[Rico]

"10.33.x.0" is no valid network...
You can use the IPv4 Tunnel Network box in CSO to push the route(s) anyway which would be the better solution.

@Rico Oh! I'll look into the IPv4 Tunnel Network box.
I did change the route to push"route 10.33.127.0 255.255.255.0" but got the same outcome.

Thank you.

the only IPs you have to set in openVPN Server are here (and afaik no where else)

show the config of your setting openVPN (screenShot) and of client specific override

[Vlee]

@noplan Ah maybe that's my issue. I haven't set a DNS or NTP Server
This is what i Have as my ipv4 tunnel network

[noplan]

dns is nice
ntp not nescessary

my point was that you do not need more IPs than those

out of the blue is your openVPN tunnel workin without client spec override ?

what is workin and what is the issue ?

@noplan
Thanks for the info.
I've never worked with client spec override. I am trying to set it up.
The issue is that when I go to save what I enter it seems to go missing.
If I go back to look at the changes I save, it is empty under the Client Specific Overrides tab.
Is that normal?

[noplan]

only things to choose n use for qnD
pre requirements (ad user and cert are all done and a client can connect and openVPN is wrokin)

put here the IP for the override in CIDR format

optional depends on your settings

if you believe me that i#m right if not not nescessary to fill some in

[Rico]

Whops, sorry to say I told you the wrong CSO box (already had my 10 hrs workday ;-)). Correct is IPv4 Local Network/s and NOT IPv4 Tunnel Network.
But mostly you would define the networks/routes to push in the Server configuration.

@Rico
word! i do not need to unserstand why i would do this ;)
CSO local networks but here in ausrtia a lot of things are possible ;)
