      OpenVPN Clients could not connect after upgrade to pfSense 2.5.0 due to routing error. Appears that update sets Default Gateway IPv4 to "Automatic". Fix is to set it to set default gateway to WAN and bounce OpenVPN Clients:

        The upgrade wouldn't have changed the gateway, but it's possible the gateway selected by the existing "Automatic" process changed to one that wasn't your preferred WAN.

        Setting a specific default (single gateway or failover group) is more reliable, so your suggestion is still a good change to make.
