Which OpenVPN client to reconfigure

KpuCko

Hi there,
I have few VPN clients connected in my pfSense box, all of them are using OpenVPN.

Today while shuffling around on the dashboard I came across this in the logs:

Not a big issue, but the problem is how I should know which client is generating this errors?

Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks.

My OpenVPN log shows the username and his IP and port with such warnings.
Verbosity level is default.

Mmm, you should see a log entry when the client first connects at least that lists that.

It is only a warning though, you don't have to do anything.

Is there a way to check the logs from the console?

viragomann

cat/tail /var/log/openvpn.log

cat/tail /var/log/openvpn.log

Yeah, but it will show the same, as the screenshot above, right?

I thought that there is a separate log for each OpenVPN instance, and they are merged all together in the webUI of pfSense.

No, there is only a single OpenVPN log for all.

However, you can find out the client or server instance by checking the PID details.
