    I'm posting this here to confirm that it is actually an issue with the documentation and not an issue with my brain, before I post to the pfSense Bugtracker.

    Re: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/openvpn-s2s-tls.html

    Note: I am using pfSense 2.7,0, which seems to be the latest version, and I assume that the documentation is updated to match the latest version (bottom left of the window shows "v: latest" in green text).

    • Issue 1 (Minor): Under Documentation: Configuring SSL/TLS Client Side -> Enable authentication of TLS packets, no such named setting exists. I assume it is referencing the setting WebConfig Setting: TLS Configuration -> Use a TLS Key, which is correctly described in the earlier documentation step Documentation: Configure the OpenVPN Server Instance -> TLS Configuration
    • Issue 2 (Major): Under Documentation: Configuring SSL/TLS Client Side there is no reference to the WebConfig Setting: IPv4 Remote network(s). I found it necessary to input the CIDR of the Server site for data to successfully route between sites. Before inputting this information, the OpenVPN connection was successful, but the routing tables on the client side (WebConfig: Diagnostics -> Routes) had no entry for the server site.

      As I received no reply here to confirm whether my issues are actually issues or user error, I have opened a bug tracker:
