      Hi Guys,

      Used to run the older pfsense with an external "management ip port" additional parameter in the openvpn config, but when I put the same in the latest version (rc3, upgraded today) it cuts off the built in management as expected but doesn't seem to create one on the ip:port I have specified.  I have tried adding firewall rules, checked logs, etc and really grasping at straws getting it to work - was it just not compiled in or am I missing something?  Thanks.

      Edit: I have found the config file it is generating, and it has 2 separate lines for management - obviously the built in one with the unix socket, and mine down the bottom with the tcp socket.  Is the multiple entry causing it to not run any at all and if so, how do I prevent the built in one from being added?

          That automatically puts the management line in?  I ran out of time, but when the next window of opportunity arises to change the network around I'll give it a shot!
