        You can see connected clients in Status > OpenVPN or in the OpenVPN widget on the dashboard.

        Also you can check the OpenVPN log to view the history.

          thank you

          I checked both and I can see that user connected. But I cannot see the name of his machine. I want to know if user is connected from busines laptop or his personal one.

            pfSense shows you what you've entered as user credentials.

            I'm using TLS only, and not User/passwords, the connection shows the CN entry in the certificate, not the name of the iPhone, neither the created user for this VPN connection.

            So, you decide what shows up when a user connects.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??
