      hello,
      i have pfsense version 2.5.0-RELEASE with openvpn.
      I need to setting a limit attempts of login for my vpn users.
      Now i try 9 times to login with bad passwor and my client doesn't receive any block.
      Does it possibile to lock the user after some attempts with bad password?
      I use localdatabase for auth and server mode Remote Access ( SSL/TLS + User Auth )

      Thankyou

        hey there,
        afaik that can be accomplished by using the freeradius package. It allows to set the number of attempts with wrong passwords.
        Your auth-process is then run by freeradius, which allows other nice methods as well...you can i.e. set your auth to 2fa, using username/password plus OTP generated digitcode to log into your openVPN...
        But you will need the freeradius package. As stated, AFAIK...
        ;)
