<![CDATA[Is there a slipstreamed download with OpenVPN already configured?]]>How much easier it would be for us newbs if there was a download of pfsense with OpenVPN already configured. Even BETTER would be a distro with OpenVPN AND failover already configured.

With it you set up the basics of the virtual interface, create a certificate, automatically makes the firewall entries, generate certificates for users,

I'm not quite sure where this request is going. There is in fact a large market for this request...If it were truly auto-configured out of the box, that would be what most people call a 'back door'. People pay good money for reliable back doors. One can't also assume every installation has a failover partner.

Certificates are good, and generating them is simple. If you want something with a 8 character username password combination instead of a large cryptographic cypher...well that isn't a VPN at all...

Yes I can work through it, but wow - I think there may be a "market" for this....

I do understand that you would like something much simpler.
