      @jegavelan I would get rid of all your custom options and try working with it with defaults. A lot of your custom options are controlled by elements in the GUI. Second, I would increase the verbosity level of the logs so that you might see more about this auth failure. Are you SURE you have the correct username and password? Have you grabbed a copy of an ExpressVPN OpenVPN config file and looked at it for its settings and compared them to what you have done on pfSense?

        @kom Yes verified that 100 time by now. Now removed the custom options and set the log to 10

          @jegavelan Nothing jumps out other than those two warnings. Do you have an ExpressVPN .ovpn file you could post the contents of here? If it's customized for you then please remove your username and password if present.

          Edit: Some others here in the past had a similar issue and solved it by adding this to their custom options:

          pull-filter ignore "auth-token"

              Yours is set to Adaptive. I would try disabling compression entirely and see if that helps.

              Edit: You might want to delete your key information from your .ovpn post. Remove all from <cert> down.

                      @jegavelan Didn't your original .ovpn file have a key-direction entry in it? I'm sure I saw that but it's not in your post above anymore.

                          @jegavelan Try manually setting your TLS key-direction to 1 instead of Use default direction

                          I'm grasping at straws at this point.

                              @jegavelan I don't have much else to add other than to contact ExpressVPN Support and ask them if they have more details from the server logs because the auth_fail is completely unexplained. Usually that error comes with extra details, and when it does not it's often a bad username or password.

                                  @gertjan I removed all the existing certs and configuration and re-created everything like what you have now.

                                  I got rid of the auth_failed error now , but VPN is not getting connected. Attached other configuration and logs.

                                    Your Manual NAT entries, and the second LAN firewall rule look fine to me.

                                    These :

                                    7e34099a-64a9-4447-9e92-b2d0573a19af-image.png

                                    are Floating rules ?
                                    if so, then that's not looking fine at all ..... Why did you create these rules ??

                                    Same thing for DNS settings : not needed at all.

                                    Make first a minimal Client VPN setup with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp3mtR4j3Lw

                                    Btw : when the VPN client is connected = working, drop the verbosity of the VPN log - reset it to 3. It's not needed to see enties for every byte that goes out. It tends to hide crusial information.

                                    re-created everything like what you have now

                                    I used the info from my vpn's account page.
                                    And this one : https://www.expressvpn.com/fr/support/vpn-setup/pfsense-with-expressvpn-openvpn/

                                    Keep in mind that OpenVPN had a huge update a couple of month ago : the version used back then was 2.4.7 ( ? ) and now pfSens is using the version 2.5.1 - the future, upcoming version will be 2.5.2. This means that this ExprssVPN / pfSense help page should be double checked with the new and changed OpenVPN parameters. It's not a click here click there and go solution.
                                    Also : I don't know what version of OpenVPN ExpessV                                    N is using on their side. I do know that my setup worked last time I tested it, using pgSense 2.5.1 and OpenVPN .

                                        Never had any issues while using 'pfSense' and 'ExpressVPN'. My connection is not actually used right now, but it's up for years now. Some maintenance is needed ones in a while, as Express can change things on their side, and pfSense also changes the OpenVPN version regularly. It's an on going read-learn-apply cycle.

                                        9ca73897-dd88-486d-bb79-aaba3a519cfe-image.png

                                        Read again, I was trying to answer questions. Not asking them.

                                          @gertjan yes it works, but i also have these messages in my logs for both expressvpn and protonvpn. i.e. certificate verify warning

                                            unable to get certificate CR

                                            CRL missing, or not accessible, isn't a big deal in this case.
                                            See for example unable to get certificate crl

                                            If something happens to the certificate emitted by expressvpn, they would remove it message or warning, and force you to update your connection settings.
                                            There is no such thing as : expressvpn let you use their generated certs, but starts to list them on a revocation list. That not needed in this usage case.
                                            I've these same two warnings.
