      Hello all and Happy the 4th!

      On some of my iOS clients (iPhone and iPad), I started seeing the "connection refused" error

      Others worked fine still.

      I wonder if anybody has seen or knows of any changes in the pfSense OpenVPN or client apps that may caused it recently?

      TIA

        I just connect my iOS 17.5.1 using the OpenVPN phone app version 3.4.2 (5723) and I connected just fine.

        It's totally useless to show my successful openvpn client connect logs - as it succeeds to the pfSense 24.03 OpenVPN server just fine.
        Yours .... should we come over and have look at them ? Or can you reproduce them here so some one can have a look ?

        Without looking, just thinking : a "connection refused" mens : the server refused the client to connect.
        So, go have a look at the OpenVPN server log and see what it tells you ?!

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

            After all it was unrelated to OpenVPN problem.

            Thx all!
