      newbie question - tutorials I can find suggest the DH PARAMETERS are needed for OpenVPN.

      In the Beta code there does not appear to be a place to cut and paste them in.

      I see where the size is selectable, but nowhere to cut and past the actual values.

      Question:

      1. where do I cut and past the DH PARAMETERS for OpenVPN?
      2. If I don't need to cut and paste them in, are they automatically generated by pfSense Beta?

      Thanks and sorry for the very basic question.

        Just enter a DH Parameters Length and you're good.

          DH parameters are just some extra random bits (to put it simply) and are not specific to your setup. You can generate a new set of DH parameters at any time.

          I may need to add an FAQ about that somewhere.
