      I'm on the road, and desperately need to install the OpenVPN client install package.
      It won't install, because I've not yet updated to 2.7 from 2.6
      I am very reluctant to attempt a pfSense version upgrade remotely.

      Is there any way to install the package anyway, or to install a 2.6 version of the package, or to accomplish the equivalent so I can gain full remote OpenVPN access to my LAN?**

      Seems the simplest path to success is finding a way to install the package.

      ** (I'm familiar w/ LAN-to-LAN openvpn setup as of a decade ago... this is different both due to newer security and I'm connecting a laptop rather than a whole LAN at my end)

        System > Update

        Change branch to Previous Stable (2.6)

            @DavidGowinsolution Not sure what this has to do with the user's post.
