      I recently upgraded to Pfsense version 22.05. After the update finished and the device rebooted, the openVPN service will not start. Looking at the openVPN status I found
      Unable to contact daemon / Service not running.

      I have attempted to start the service several times without any luck. Any support will be grateful.

        I discovered openVPN didn't upgrade with the OS. From a command prompt, I ran pfSense-upgrade -d and applied the missing updates. After installing the updates and rebooting the machine, openVPN started working correctly.
