      Hi,

      We did an upgrade of our pfSense lately to version 22.05-Release. We have a primary and secondary pfSense and upon check we see now that the openvpn service is not running on the secondary (I dont know if that is the way it should be since it is secondary). I am very new with pfSense and I dont now where to start and troubleshoot. Maybe a restart or maybe something else. Can someone please advice how can I resume the openvpn service on the secondary pfSense?

      Thnx in advance

        If the OpenVPN server is listening on a CARP VIP (or an alias) that is expected.
        If the primary goes down the services should start automatically. You can also test it by putting the primary into the CARP maintenance mode (Status > CARP).
