      Installed / configured OpenVPN on pfsense box a while back when I had static IP address. Had to change providers and have normal dhcp provided IPs so I signed up for freeDNS and got that updating correctly. Where / how do I change my ovpn to reflect changing IPs for the clients? I looked through the server and client export and don't even see my old IP mentioned. I am on the current pfsense (2.4.5)

        If the server is set to listen on the WAN or on localhost there is nothing to change.
        In the Client Export Utility you see a dropdown next to "Host Name Resolution", where you can select your DynDNS name if configured.

          @viragomann Thanks, somehow thought it would be more complex. I see the entry and will give it a go.
