      I am new to pfsense and i have a problem with openvpn.

      I have installed pfsense v2.5.1-RELEASE ce, configured the interfaces and setup openvpn server using the wizard and openvpn-client-export plugin. I installed several vpn clients and they can connect successfully and see my internal network.

      The problem is when a vpn connection disconnects and i want to reconnect. I can reconnect, but I cannot see my internal network. To make it the vpn connection work properly, i have to restart my computer.

      I have checked the routing tables on my client, they are the same after each connect.

      I am newbie, not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?

        It seems to be a common issue:

        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/161324/openvpn-is-not-working-if-client-is-reconnected-immediately/14

        It works by adding "nobind" or "lport 0" to client cfg file.
