      Hi all

      I hope someone can help me here as I am genuinely loosing the will to live following problems over problems created by this piece of software.

      Preamble:
      I am trying to set up OpenVPN on Pfsense so I can access my home network from outside (this article https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-openvpn-on-pfsense/ ).

      I created a DDNS as per this: https://www.wundertech.net/use-duckdns-to-set-up-ddns-on-pfsense/

      1. First observation: The status in "down" by default. I found out that it activates when I remove the "OK." from the result match. If I come back and add it afterwards, the status is still up.

      1. Second Observation

      When I try to export the client configuration, the dropdown menu gives me a blank entry (which corresponds to the DDNS I previously set up). This cripples my ability to export files to connect from my phone.

      Does anyone have any recommendations, please? I run 2.6.0

      To anticipate: I have firewall rules in place already

        @vbianconi88 I'm not following what you're saying in number 1 so I'll skip that. Number 2, select "other" then enter your DDNS in the box it gives you.
