      Hi my friends.
      I have two Pfsense + 23.05-RELEASE (amd64) they are an association in HA Cluster , and Openvpn "Device mode: tap Leyear 2 Tap Mode"
      If I work for Pfsense (Master) - my OpenVpn tap Leyear 2 work perfect.
      I turn off my Pfsense (Master), my OpenVpn tap Leyear 2 won't run on mine Pfsense (Slave).
      When I restart me Pfsense (Slave) my OpenVpn tap Leyear 2 will be up and running.
      I also have OpenVpn tun - there are no problems with it, after turning off the master, it works on Pfsense (Slave).

      I determined that after switching to Pfsense (Slave) my OpenVpn tap Leyear 2 have error "Service not running".
      I'm trying to run a river launch. But unsuccessfully. Only reboot helps.
      If I turn on Pfsense (Master), all my OpenVpn tun, they will work, but no OpenVpn tap Leyear 2 .
      Only reboot helps.

        I hoped that the problem would be solved after the update. I updated Pfsens to version 23.05.1 - the problem was not solved.
        Can someone tell me what could be wrong.Снимок экрана 2023-07-06 в 12.29.59 PM.pngСнимок экрана 2023-07-05 в 9.47.02 PM.png

          I found a solution!
          I reconfigured VPN to Server mode:
          Remote Access ( SSL/TLS + User Auth )
          After that everything worked as it should. Perhaps my experience will be useful to someone
