      Hello,

      I want to set up an OpenVPN connection between GL-XE300C4 and pfSense. I have tried configuring a peer-to-pair with shared key server on the pfsense and exported the ‘inline’ configuration. It didn’t work. The logs in the pfsense showed that the GL-XE300C4 connected but no traffic was passed. The showed the status button in the GUI as orange which means there was an issue. I don’t know how to view the logs on the GL-XE300C4 so I really couldn’t do any additional troubleshooting.

      Has anyone set up an OpenVPN connection between the GL-XE300C4 and pfSense? If so, can you list the steps you took or provide a guide?

      Also, do you know of a good way to view logs on the device?

      Thanks!

        @powerextreme Probably best to troubleshoot from the pfSense side.

        Is the OpenVPN firewall rules tab showing that you're passing all data?

        Are there any blocked events in the Firewall log related to your OpenVPN connection?
