      Hello,
      I recently upgraded our firewall to version CE 2.6.0, now the VPN clients aren't displayed anymore in the status menu (Status -> OpenVPN). We are using a TAP connection without a defined tunnel network, bridging the connections to the correct subnet. This was working fine for years, until Bug #12232 (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12232) was solved. Now we've got this exact problem, which should have been solved in 2.6.0. Is there a workaround for this issue, except downgrading back to 2.5.2? Being able to see who's connected made my work much easier.
      Best regards,
      Wendelin

        Same problem here. We have about 100 users deployed across 10 openVPN server instances on our core pfsense VM using tap/bridge mode. There are a number of reasons we prefer this arrangement over a routed tunnel when VPNing into a cooperate windows domain network.

        I'm tempted to roll back to 2.5.2 because we can't see connected users on either the openVPN status page or the dashboard widget. Are there any plans to make these interfaces display connected users again with a future update (soon?)
