      Hello, I find the following three lines repeatedly in the logs regarding the MANAGEMENT interface.

      I have several active interfaces, but only this one appears in the logs, referring to MANAGEMENT.

        You can stop these logs lines :
        Do like this :
        Stop visiting the pfSense GUI.
        Stop visiting Status > OpenVPN
        😊

        These lines are created because the OpenVPN received a command on it's 'control socket'. The command was "stat 2". Usage of the management interface is logged.
        It's the pfSense GUI that sends this command 'status2' to the OpenVPN process, and openvpn sends several lines of info back : the usage statistics **
        It contain, amongst other, active connections.
        The pfSense then filters out the info it wants, and shows it on the GUI.

        ** see here.

        See here for some more info.

        So, good news, all is fine, we all see the same lines.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
