      Background: This is a brand new 7100 ordered direct from Netgate.

      I am using near identical settings for my clients on both pfSense+ and CE editions. I am only seeing this problem on +

      OpenVPN is using 8192 bit encryption for clients, server and CA
      I am seeing random SSL_Protocol_Error and the GUI refuses to load. It happens only occasionally and the browser hangs for several minutes. Ping response it normal during the error. Access over WAN IP is normal. This only happens over VPN.

      I have attached screenshot of errors thrown by browser.

      I have tried toggling the cryptographic options from AES-NI to QAT and back again, the error still happens.
      I have tried regenerating GUI CA and certificate, no luck.

      I hope someone on the forums can help me find the problem.

        Have you tried different browsers?

        Add

        mssfix 1400
        

        to the OpenVPN client config and try again.

        I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

          @pippin If I do that the logs throw the following error. . .

          "Options error: option 'mssfix' cannot be used in this context"

            Actually I think mssfix cannot be pushed, it must be hardcoded into the client config.

              @pippin said in Random error on GUI over OpenVPN connection:

              Can you try

              tun-mtu 1400
              

              in the client config instead?
